I'm willing to take the chance. I'm
deliberately being vague so as not to "spoil the surprise" of what I wish to attempt. If I asked what I REALLY want to know, it would give it away.
I need this test done before Kickoff because I have way too many other things to do after it. I also want to see what breaks first when things get hairy, and I'd rather trash my
own part with "limit testing" than a kit supplied part. This is my new team's first year, so we won't have spares for this kind of test.
I simply desire my test jig to be as accurate a simulation as possible. Knowing last year's part number (or its closest relative) helps tremendously when I buy it by giving me a really good idea of what FIRST Purchasing considers "the regular servo". Heck... If I'm going to spend
my money wrecking something with this test, I wanna buy the
right part the first time!
