I use the Bioloid kit, and I think its great, for a number of reasons:
- servos are on a serial bus, and can be daisy-chained
- high torque servos (200 oz-in)
- servos respond with position, speed, temperature, voltage, etc
- serial bus is expandable - you can make your own sensors/actuators as bus devices
You can see what I'm working on here:
