For one, the robot gearing was designed with zero backlash (well +/- 0.000001") using a novel set of EDMachining techniques developed to achieve this accuracy virtually no part distortion - which was reported in literature and trade journals. Eventually, this could lead to super precision/efficient mechanical systems in scientific instruments, micro-robotics, etc. Also - come on a SkyCrane!?!?
