"Mobility, which is a basic property for a mechanism has to be analyzed to\nfind the degrees of freedom. A quick method for calculation of degrees of\nfreedom in a mechanism is proposed in this work. The mechanism is represented\nin a way that resembles a zebra crossing. An algorithm is proposed which is\nused to determine the mobility from the zebra crossing diagram. This algorithm\ntakes into account the number of patches between the black patches, the number\nof joints attached to the fixed link and the number of loops in the mechanism.\nA number of cases have been discussed which fail to give the desired results\nusing the widely used classical Kutzbach-Grubler formula."
