The kaleidocycle is unique among compliant mechanisms for its ability to undergo continuous rotation. Most compliant mechanisms are able to flex back and forth over a certain range, however, the kaleidocycle's arrangement of compliant mechanisms allows the mechanism assembly to continuously rotate. This ability to continuously rotate was once thought to be possible only with traditional mechanisms, like bearings or bushings, but the kaleidocycle shows that belief is a thing of the past.
