Servo questions...

Thanks for the quick reply -- gotta place an overnight order real soon here.

That's clarifies that. Thx.


RE: doubling-up servos:

I see no rules against that. If there had been, then at least one team would have been jumped on about a week ago when they posted a picture of three that were obviously designed to work together.

Then that will probably be my solution... I can think of about 3 ways to do this (1) back-to-back with the signal reversed to one of them (2) dual control links from each servo's horn to the same fulcrum point on the controlled arm, or (3) gear on the controlled arm with servos pushing that gear at different points around the circumference of the controlled gear.

I can't find that post with the other team's implementation of this, so if you know any keywords to find that post, it would be much appreciated.

Much thanks!
