Re: pic: Almost Finished

hey guys, great vid. awesome bot.
If i may offer some criticism.... change the gear ratio's at the arms joints to slow it down mechanically. seems like its very sensitive to the joystick(ie too fast for its own good.). If you just swap out the driven gear/sprocket it will help reduce speed and load on motors and slow it down to a more controllable speed without programming changes.
We've had similar situations and its an easier fix than you may think.

goodluck see ya around!

NY First rox!
