Re: necessary torque for an arm

The arm needs to travel about 90 degrees (it's a 4-bar linkage) so at 15 fps we're looking at one second total for arm travel. I've tried to convince the others that that's a bit too fast (I use "a bit" loosely) but to no avail. Also, the arm is still in the design stage, so I guessed high on the weight.
