Re: 4W Maximum Power Servos? Huh?

Your math is correct for stall torque * no-load speed. Which, of course, isn't the same as max power, which is (stall torque * no-load speed)/4. My post above uses the latter convention. I take it you were looking for whatever formula the GDC might have been using when they developed the 4W limit. I think it's definitely worth the Q&A to see what they were thinking of when they wrote this one.
