Re: what motor did you use(arm)
1714 used the Keyang window motor through a bane bots 56mm 12:1 transmission (the one meant for the cim). The motor worked great, but the transmission gave us problems all season.
For the second joint on our arm, we used a Nippon Denso window motor. We mounter the motor on the opposite side of the arm as the gripper to be used as counterweight. We ran a chain down the arm and used a 4:1 ratio. This section of the arm worked great all season.
