How much stress will that cause?
And you're not telling me that you've never had to stretch while moving
haven't you?
Anyway, it's probably bad physics for a robot, but it works (for me) in
an image.
If the distance between sphere's really would be the problem you could
easily change your calculations to provide for that. That wouldn't
change the fact that if you had a really 3D-body there still would be
some stretching (inside vs outside of curve).
