Playing with a yo-yo takes skill and patience. With its YoYo, Festo has demonstrated that fully automated control can be achieved with the aid of mechatronics, thus linking with Festo's core competency of automation to using moving air.
The YoYo consists of three independent yo-yos of different sizes, 16", 20" and 24". All the yo-yos take the form of Maxwell wheels of various kinds, with each one being driven by a pneumatic muscle.
