Re: Manipulator Torque (A Bit Scary for Us)

Actually, power is the problem! torque is increased by decreasing speed, but you can only get so much power (work per unit time) out of the motor and that makes the arm really slow.

So....if you use this setup you will have to be lifting as you are lapping, should be exciting to drive!
