I am going to test out the wire rope... just bought a few pieces to put it together, then will share the results.
What do you think of this auction item on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ory=25276&rd=1
The 2 servos with gear boxes are interesting although I am fairly in the dark on what's required as yet. The seller doesn't know the oz/in... does the wattage (170w)mean anything to anyone out there - what is that equal to in oz/in? He guessed they were 100 oz/in... but they look pretty big to be that light.... what do I know though - at this point, not much!
The thing that attracted me was the 25:1 reduction gear boxes... this would bring my rpm's down to a usable level with the wire rope or timing belt idea.
I am assuming I could then go the gecko route for the rest. If I win this auction, am I painting myself into a corner for a Gecko setup (re. max amps, voltage etc)?
Thanks
