A flexible media transport system includes a director element (230) having articulating tips (231,232,233) that provide access to selected media paths (211,212,213). The director element(s) can be incorporated into a director module (200). Multiple director modules can then be combined into a highly flexible and reconfigurable media transport system. By implementing the joints (J231-233) between the articulating tips (231-233) and the body of the director element such that a continuous surface is provided in the path of the flexible media, stubbing of the moving media can be avoided. The continuous-surface joint interface can be provided via flexible skins (539), monolithic articulating tip-director element structures, and preconfigured resilient plate structures, among others. <IMAGE> |
