Hi everyone, I’m working on a Chinese version of a robotic cat. The unique design of the base and servos requires no screws for assembly. However, the assembly process is quite challenging because you need to hold all parts in your hands to connect them properly. I did cheat a little by using a few screws to help with the assembly! I'm still...

Multi-Voltage Power Adapter Options
Hello Roboteers, I've been thinking about the power supply options for our projects, and it would be beneficial to have a power adapter capable of providing multiple voltage outputs, such as 6V, 8V, and 12V. This flexibility would be particularly useful since many servos operate at 6 volts.
