Re: Ant related questions
Hmm I was thinking about using servos like those, but for the crushing arm, I need lots of power, and those servos can't provide it, so I would have to gear them down, and I figured that the gearing system would weigh about 40 grams... So the large servo is a better option...

But i think it would be two heavy if I do that.... But any suggestions would be helpful (and info abou...

And thanks ...
