Post by: tipipliou on March 08, 2010, 03:35:19 PM
hello
for my robot(my first one),i'll use 2 servos (torque=6kg.cm)

I believe the MAX torque output from a modified servo would be the same as un-modified.

To calculate the weight of a robot you haven't build yet, make a list of every part you plan to use. Then find the weight of each of these parts on data sheets and add them up.
