If your idea is so dependent on knowing the exact part number and configuration of the servo, then may I make the following suggestion: stop and wait until January 4. Even if you know the exact part number of the servo used in the 2002 kit of parts, there is absolutely NO guarantee that the same part will be used in the 2003 kit.

I'm willing to take the chance. I'm deliberately being vague so as not to "spoil the surprise" of what I wish to attempt. If I asked what I REALLY want to know, it would give it away.

I need this test done before Kickoff because I have way too many other things to do after it. I also want to see what breaks first when things get hairy, and I'd rather trash my own part with "limit testing" than a kit supplied part. This is my new team's first year, so we won't have spares for this kind of test.

I simply desire my test jig to be as accurate a simulation as possible. Knowing last year's part number (or its closest relative) helps tremendously when I buy it by giving me a really good idea of what FIRST Purchasing considers "the regular servo". Heck... If I'm going to spend my money wrecking something with this test, I wanna buy the right part the first time!
