I currently have MG995 servos in the shoulders. When running off a 12v 7a battery without the forearm and claw attatched I can get his upperarm to go up and behind his head fine. When I add his forearm and claw and try the same thing and the arm slips back down when I try this. Do my servos not have enough torque? Or not getting enough power? Attached is a rough idea of what im trying to do. I would like the arms to hold above his head for roughly 10-20 seconds. The claws will not be moving just there for show for now.
i love the 1501 mg servo, they are really good for a $20 servo. probably the best for the torque.
What you need to use is servo gearbox from Servocity.com.Check it out.
Hey! Welcome to the Omnibot2000 club! You need to check out Matt's project. He has it all layed out for you.

Also, d.J. has two of them. A little one and a BIG one. There are many in the Project Showcase section.
good Luck!
Any recomendations on adjustable voltage regulators? I finally have the cash to get everything I need. Also will I be running 1 per servo? Should I also get some for the motors in the gearbox?
