Anyone interested in creating a team to brain storm ideas and designs for robot arms for large or small robots. Perhaps collectively we could come up with a universal design that many of us could use. We each could provide input, drawings and/or services.

What you say about marine batteries can all happen.
You need to put them in a plastic box
keep a eye on the acid levels.
Dont run them to flat
charge them with a proper charger
and they can last for years. the two i use on my boat for the bow thruster have lasted two years so far , with no sign of giving up just yet.
The bowthruster draws far more current than my robot will .
they are big and heavy and gel cells are better for bots but far more expensive.
PS Expensive AH for AH.
i get them very cheap,mainly used on outside,fumes is a very big problem besides the weight i have to see any robot in the world use marine batteries,acid is very deadly as they also have a corrosion problem too
This is one of my favorite robots that I have found online. Has a really neat arm.
thats dave shinsel robot,i built one of his designs to try it out

Did you build a copy of Loki? I am trying to get in contact with his creator. I am very interested in the chat bot he is using. Do you know what it is?
i made the SEEKER design ,called SEEKER 2 using part of LOKI part SEEKER
I am very interested in his arm design. The servos are strong. But, very expensive.
