By the way, would these work for the cables for a servo?

Here is a batch of servo cables

@Doc is that a seller you have used yourself? I ask because I have bought cables and some have been totally useless so now I stick to a seller I know sends good stuff.

They are what I use. Cut the wires and solder on jumper wires, cover with heat shrink (or tape if you're on a budget) and viola, you have the cable you need.

@Josh, are these the crimps you use?

I prefer to use these terminal blocks;

For the common ground I like to use these;

RichThe link provided is to a seller I use, and the cables work fine. Of the ones I've used, none have been defective.

@ Rich , yes that style crimp spade connectors. They never come loose and i use the barrier trip for extra protection you can spray or paint on liquid rubber and it makes the heads of the screws insulated but i just place a piece of tape over the top and all the connections are completely covered at that point. I use white tape so i can write on it with a sharpie to label what the connection so are. I did this on my fish tank controller

There are silver and gold plated versions , turns out silver is more conductive but gold yells that you spent the extra money.

I just use stuff like these silver plated and insulated connectors.

Can anyone sketch up a way to do this? It needs to fit in a humanoid robot that is 17 in. tall (custom, built upon bioloid frames & dynamixel 12a's) and fit into a small backpack on the back. Help would be appreciated.

Do you have the bipedal robot frame yet assembled with pics. I could draw some general ideas. Take in mind a backpack effects balance , he would need to lean forward like a hiker.
