Battery Weight

[JavaRN]

Is it practical that instead of one 9.6v battery, I buy 2 4.8V 2500mah batteries and put them in the feet and connect them in series. Each battery weighs 120g. Is this a lot for bioloid feet?

Thanks

I find that the Bioloid is MUCH more stable with the weight high up. In fact the most stable we made the humanoid was by putting a heavy roll of duct tape on his head

While low centre of gravity increases your static stability a high centre of gravity reduces the frequency of oscillations and slows the effect of gravity.

It all depends whether you want static stability (i.e. when standing still) or make it easier to walk

In fact he walks pretty well, the only problem is when he perform the turns (turn left and turn right) and when he tries to wake up from a fall. I tried to reduce the speed drastically for the turns, still, sometimes he falls. By the way my bioloid has a cmucam3 connected on his head so he has quite a big head!!
