This paper is about motion planing for kinematic systems, and more particularly $\epsilon$-approximations of non-admissible trajectories by admissible ones. This is done in a certain optimal sense.
    The resolution of this motion planing problem is showcased through the thorough treatment of the ball with a trailer kinematic system, which is a non-holonomic system with flag of type $(2,3,5,6)$.
Keywords: subriemannian geometry, optimal control., robotics, motion planing, Ball with a trailer.
