Building a better Doc Ock Tentacle

We’ve all seen Doctor Otto Octavius or Doc Ock, in the Spiderman comics and movies. Dock Ock has four tentacles and four of his own limbs, so that makes nine in total, and that’s the same as an octopus.
Lots of cosplayers have made Dock Ock cosplays, including Adam Savage, although mostly those tentacles are in fixed positions or supported with strings. So this time I’m going to try a different approach, using six actuators in each segment of the tentacle.
