The Robotworld I saw required compressed air also. As I understand, the units are attracted to the surface by a magnet, and floated away from it by the compressed air for low friction. It also makes a lot of noise--the motors whine, and the air hisses. I never worked with it, but it looked pretty flexible, powerful, and precise. -- Chris Phoenix cphoenix@csli.stanford.edu #insert <funnyquote.h> #insert <graphic.h> #insert <stddisclaimer.h>
