Regular icosahedron tensegrity shape with central payload (figure 5b). The highlighted contact surface with the ground creates a reaction force N (upwards arrow) that, at rest, balances the weight of the structure, represented on the figure by the downwards arrow mg. Torque is created on the whole structure when displacement of the centre of mass from its rest position occurs. (Online version in colour.)
