Overview

The current plan is to use a parallel hydraulic circuit (constant pressure at each joint motor, varying flow based on load force and extent of valve opening). If so, flow control is necessary (to control speed of arm movement for varying load forces) and directional control is necessary (to allow reverse arm movement). Also, a pressure relief valve back to the tank is necessary to maintain continuity of flow even while all 6 joints are stationary.
