Anyone know how to grasshopperize rotational motion like this?

Trying to rotate a cam with lever to get exaggerated motion. Not sure how to relate the rotation of the cam with the cam's point of contact on the lever. This should be an animated gif when you click on the image...if you don't see animation here, I attached a animated gif file. Also, rhino and gh files. Thanks in advance for any help.

Looking at this another time now, I just checked and found out my method only looked right to me at first glance, but is just terribly wrong and will most likely lead to nothing.

Therefore I´d like draw back my earlier submission and raise my hat once more for Systemiq.

But yes right, quite an entertaining discussion.

looks that way. I kinda thaught it might have been a very novice question.

I'm a bit late to the party, but anyway...

Interesting question. Here's a scripted iterative approach that doesn't rely on taking thousands of samples to get accuracy (not to put down Systemiq's approach - which is really neat, and I was surprised that this was possible at all without looping).
