| Hey - I just did something similar using Newton:
It’s around 0:40 but the whole video is worth a watch. (April fools thing)
I couldn’t figure out how to animate 3 separate objects at different points in time and had only a few hours - no time to read manuals or ask questions so I might have done this the wrong way, but basically I animated each of the 3 chairs individually and then married the keyframes in a main comp.
The result wasn’t perfect (time) but was certainly better than trying to hand-keyframe.
Cheers, Rachel
Excellent stuff Teddy. Just watched the quick start video and the Kinekatics setting looks great. Animated the boxes to the end of the belt and then let Newton take over.
I'm sure i'll bug you about something or other. Cheers !!!

An hour's worth of tuts and maybe 20 minutes of setup and this would be done. Not to mention a tax write off. And a crazy fun sandbox toy...
As for the robot - even that could be completely managed by newton physics - as newton 2.0 has a pretty rad magnetics engine, and very robust constraint, pulley and joints systems. They also have excellent support and tutorials. And I'm always happy to answer questions. -TG
