Re: Motor for arm: what should be used when?

We ran into the exact same problems with the window motors at the base our arm. Since we took out the locking pins and the motors were backdriving anyway, we swapped them out with a single cim on a toughbox. We have yet to test it, though (but we don't expect any issues). The other two joints on our arm are driven by single, unmodified window motors.
