09:39 AM DrunkenDwarf: Hi all. Im a hobbyist in robotics, done a lot with servos 'n' steppers. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of what to look for for something a little larger thats easily controlled with basic electronics? I'm looking to upgrade my octopod and beef it up, the the new design is going to be like 1kg per leg. Aliexpress servos obviously aren't going to handle that :P i was wondering whether hydraulics were the way to go but
09:39 AM DrunkenDwarf: ive no idea how to precisely control them with electonics or where to look for hobby-affordable small pistons. Or should I be looking at powerful steppers with a leadscrew jointing?
09:40 AM rue_mohr: hmm
