Idea dump series. Description of interesting ideas to allow them to be freely available and avoid being locked down by patents.

Robots and Cranes: Robots and cranes complement each other nicely. Robot precision and speed plus crane load capacity and reach (large working area). Many configurations are possible to take advantage of this complementary features of robots and cranes. I present here some examples:

Robot mechanical play compensation using pull strings (rigid or flexible). Gearboxes with zero backlash are expensive. I propose here an alternative, a robot built with inexpensive gearmotors can achieve high precision if a force is applied using rigid or flexible strings to make its combined backlash to go to a fixed position.
