Back when i was 16 I was hoping I'd see the day when the triple zipper became a reality. I never gave up hope. Here we are today. At long last. Take my money.
Do we need this?

WTF am I even reading?
This could only happen in the gravity of a flat earth. /s
I like the actuators. Industry already uses zipper drives for some applications but the ability for actuator to have a preset curve could be pretty useful.
