Kevin et al,
If memory serves, the Zebra one was designed by Jeff (Jeffrey) Kerr,
over ten years ago.
The last contact I had with him was in regard to his motion control
products: the PIC-STEP and PIC-SERVO. (See www.jrkerr.com)
BTW I googled: Zebra Kerr Robot OR Manipulator
to find the above -- Have you tried different google combinations
and/or following the first-level links to what they link to?
I haven't heard that Jeff's done anything with the Zebra in quite a
while (of course, I haven't been looking either), and he may have sold
off he rights/tech info to it all. However, you might (_politely_)
inquire via the URL above and see if he can provide or point you to any
Zebra info.
HTH,
Larry Pfeffer
PS If you do get in touch with Jeff, you might mention that Larry
Pfeffer is alive and well in the Boston area (and feel free to pass on
my email addr.)
