Any good ideas for a servo suitable for a gripper or a lifting scoop? A cheap one?
Thanks .

Hi Alasdair
If you wan't a fast flipper the best servo is a SuperTec Park HPXF, the only downside to that servo is that it uses plastic gears, so they might strip. I use a HS-82MG in one of my lifters: DiscordANT. It's pretty fast, and it has metal gears, so that's a good choice, oh and both the HPXF snd HS-82MG work fine at 7.4v. Anteater used a SuperTec lo-profile 136L/2bb to power it's grabbing claws. It's a good servo as it weighs 33g and delivers 8kg of torque, it also works at 7.4v. Bear in mind I have never used the 136L, I'm just going by estimations, calculations, reccommendations and a lot of theory Well, I havn't actually done any calculations, I'm no mathematician I buy all my servos from an online store called Servo Shop, as the prices are reasonable, they have a wide selection of servos (as well as brushless motors and other interesting little things ) and often do next day delivery, however, ebay is always a good bet for getting parts cheap. I bought 2 v-tail mixers for under ?10, and they came the next day
Anyway, I really have said too much,
Hope this helps,
