Attach two objects

Post by Veloci-REPtor »

Hi,

I'm new to v-rep, and have a (probably very simple) problem: I want to attach one object to another object, so that they stick together as if they were grouped. But they should each have different properties (which is why i can't group them). Also I want the combination of the objects to be not static. Is there an easy way to do this without using a joint?

Sorry if this question is too trivial, but I haven't found something like this in the tutorials I've looked at.

Thanks

Hello,

try using a force/torque sensor. Next to measuring a force/torque, then can hold two shapes together. This is also how the caster of the BubbleRob is attached to the body.

Cheers

Thank you for the quick reply!
Sorry, I probably didn't get that this sensors can also hold shapes together when reading the tutorial.
Regards
