Just trying to help out! Since I don't know what the rest of the arm looks like. |
Heres the picture of the entire robot.

The overall arm weighs 13 lbs, and as stated above, with the spring and gas shock, the motor requires little torque to move.
Also, to clarify the idea of bending the motor shaft, Im pretty sure it will be really hard to do, as the shaft is 1/2 inch. Notice this is not the small Banebots motor and 36mm gearbox that came with the kit. This is a Fisher price motor paired with a 42mm Banebots gearbox.
