Скачать или смотреть Kinetic Fingers - Puppet Cable Mechanism Prototype for MMX

Prototype for the Marble Machine X's infamous Kinetic Fingers. I figured out how to get them to move in a Tim Burton-y/Animusic-y way without being too floppy by using spring steel and a cable mechanism often found in the controls for puppet hands. This design utilizes what's already installed on the MMX without adding too much complexity (hopefully).
