 The Fast Bending Actuator is the most basic Pneunet design that is based on the [[soft-robotics:fast-pneunet|Fast Pneunet]] architecture. Its design is based on the research paper by Dr. Bobak Mosadegh: [[http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/adfm.201303288/full|Pneumatic Networks for Soft Robotics that Actuate Rapidly]].

+From the toolkit website:
+<code>
+Using a thin metal rod, pierce the end of the actuator, an equal distance from both sides
+and about 1/8” (3mm) from the bottom.  Aim the rod slightly downwards and don’t push it in too far.
+The goal is to reach the central channel without puncturing any of the actuator’s walls.
