- This is an animation of a chrome & brass robot arm playing the "towers of
- Hanoi". The objective is to move the discs from one peg to another, with
- the stipulations that you may only move one at a time, and you may only move
- a disc onto one that is larger.
-
- This is one of those classical problems that you get assigned in a programming
- class. Espically Pascal, where the professors delight in assigning programs
- that do lots of recursion.
-
- Every frame in the animation was generated from a Polyray v1.5 data file. The
- final FLI was created using DTA. I know there are still a few bugs in the
- movement. However the motions of the arm and hand contain a number of elements
- that lend to the realism of the scene.
