Pin constraint

Pin constraint

In dynamics, a constraint that links two rigid bodies at a specified position. It works as if the two objects were connected by a metal pin with a ball joint between its ends. You can pin together two active rigid bodies or an active and a passive rigid body. Use pin constraints to create effects such as a link in a chain or a robotic arm.
