Automaton Laboratory

This application is a laboratory for the creation of automata. An automaton is a system of circles (actually planar coordinate systems) moving relative to one another in a hierarchical fashion.  That is, every circle in the system except one will be rolling along the circumference of one other circle at every moment in time.  Automata are a superset of the mathematical curves called epicycloids and hypocycloids.  Automata might also be called compound cycloids.  The motion associated with such  systems of circles can be viewed as movies or printed.
