Thank you for the 'backspin' definition (not having an engineering background I just use whatever terms make sense to me sometimes and yes I am blond all of which increases the level of confusion at times
)
"Now to use the servo in that same operation you would need to pull enough rope in 180 degrees of rotation to close your claw, I am assuming you are using this claw to hold the tubes, in which case I suggest you look at a different motor."
Have been looking at specs on the HiTechs and saw the '180' reference just a few minutes ago so I went 'back to the drawing board'.
We considered the Bainbots (sp?) however the gear reduction necessary has us concerned (weight wise) at that point in the arm. Have been looking at the Hi-Tec HSR1425-CR whose specs fall within the same range as the HS-322HD but is a continuous rotation servo. Thoughts?
