Re: New AndyMark product: L16-R actuator

Likely legal since it's an assembly powered by a continuous rotation servo. Relevant rules:

Italics are researched specs/questions:

C. REV Servo Power Module (P/N: REV-11-1144) ($40, 15A total across 6 channels)
The AM specs include current draw in the 'datasheet'. 650mA at 12V stall ===> 325mA at 6V stall, right?

I'm interested since it may prevent us from needing another PCM, cylinders, and a hard stop for two low-load internal mechanisms.
