Following this steps from this post and this and from the spec sheet above.



So Torque = 6.5inlbs=0.7344Nm (According to online converter)

100*.7344*0.1046=7.68Watts

So if all my math is right and I am converting everything proper, it does not seem that servo is under 4watts.

Since those values are at 7.5 volts and on the robot they will run at 6 volts, you can derate both the speed and the torque by 6/7.5. Unfortunately, that only gets you to 4.9 watts.
