is it possible to make a model look like it bends w/o adding a fulcrum (like in the robin tut)?

Yes you can, it's known as skinning the model.  There are two ways through envelope weights and painted weights.  I find painted weights much more useful because you can be much more precise with them.
You can read about them in the manual here (http://www.anim8or.com/manual/5_figure_editor.html#skinning), and MP3D has skinning tutorials in both the beginners and intermediate section on his website. (http://www.mp3d.info/Anim8ortutorials/)
You can google (http://www.google.com/) and find more tutorials and information as well.
