== Deflections (wobbling) from thermal motions ==

The concern here is that '''nanorobotic machinery and tooltips may jitter too much to allow for [[positional atomic precision|positionally atomically precise]] [[mechanosynthesis]]'''.

This is strongly related to [[wobbly fingers]] and [[sloppy fingers]] as [[stiffness]] (and choice of robotic geometry) is what keeps deflection amplitudes from jittering agitated by thermal motions in check. <br>
So the concern is discussed there. Results are promising for this to work.
