Re: Redesign, 36mm question.
So if we had 11:60 gearing on two of the motors, it could power the arm without a problem.

About the backdriving problem - would it be a bad idea to regulate this by applying current to the motors to keep it from backdriving, like the Victor's brake mode?

OR who thinks I should just abandon the idea of using the 36mm gearboxes, and just suck it up and find somewhere to mount the fisher price gearboxes?
