Getting our kids in on the robots , my little brother alequa is 15 and stocked I'm building a robot and wants to help , he is late in the game as I'm 80 percent done with this build , the vacuum bot I'm gonna let him really get his hands dirty:)

Servos I believe I will use for elbow and shoulder movement , I am thinking of doubling up two in random for elbow , and shoulder up down movement giving the robot 520 oz in torque , http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1057 Pololu HD metal gear servos 19.99 , that would mean 200 would cover all servos for both arms if I upgraded. , right now for building purposes I can use the 645mg I have 130oz which will move fine but not great for lifting.

What about these? Although I think it may not be correct specs. Tell me what you think.

##EDIT## Yeah those numbers dont add up right. Here are the MG996R. They arent as strong but much cheaper.

@glickclick , ill check those out in the morning

@robotmaker yes I love hobbyking those guys are so cheap , I wonder how they do it.

I spent the better part of today prepping parts , sanding out imperfections and gouge marks. I used 400 grit and wet sanded with soapy water. So far I have one arm and handles to finish hitting with 400. And the front chest piece must be sanded / prepped. As far as mods I still must do , I need to mold in the rear drawer and cut holes for video card connections. The arms I'm thinking of cutting a slot for the servo before it goes off to paint.

current to do list

  • cut holes for servos in shoulders and elbows -cut neck for pan tilt servos -cut chest for DVD/blueray drive -finish cutting front radar -cut video card slot?

Maybe to do list

  • build onto / raise torso 3/4 inches -build onto / raise base 3 to 4 inches with wood and body filler and thin model grade sheet plastic.

Raising torso gives more room for electronics. Raising base should solve space constraints I've.been having for battery space , speakers and the ups backup control board. The challenge here is keeping the body /shell light as to not weight him down. O would like to have a third battery in.the base to lower center.of gravity.
