Re: Alternatives to Pinion and Spur Gears
We have a slight weight issue too because our elbow is being run off a CIM and 27:1 Banebots P80 so we can't output as much torque as we'd like.

We have surgical tubing to counter-act the torque, but we're not sure how well it would work for heavier loads.

Peter, how much does the Bobcat gripper weigh? I'm trying to minimise weight in the design.
