Imagine what other amazing mechanical articulated stuff one could do with this simple servo construction. If I can possibly find an excuse for a small, 3+jointed arm with low torque and speed on next year's robot, I will have to use this kinda stuff. Maybe I should make a robotic hand to shift the drill gearbox, seems like no mechanical device can do it as well as a hand
absolutely incredible. I want one. Did you see its Chop-Socky there at the end of the vid?
