Re: Servos - How much can they lift?
The servo is not designed for high torque applications. Start using it for such and you'll strip the gears. I can't think of many instances its appropriate to use the servo to interact with the "outside world" (ie grabbing a goal or ball).

I just quoted quoted the FIRST KOP manual on those servo stats. If this number hasn't been correct in past years and you are depending on more then 20 or so oz/in you should probably measure the torque yourself.
