Max weight?

Hi guys, I`m planning on modifying my bioloid by adding two servos on the elbows so that I can bend them forwards and backwards (i.e. for the right arm I plan on connecting servo 6 to the new servo and then a cable from the new servo to servo 4). My question is this; would the weight of two extra AX12+ servos be too much? And if not, what is the absolute maximum ? Thanks for the help. :D

Two additional servos will be fine.

I added close to 500g to my bioloid humanoid and it was still able to walk, but barely. Servos heated up pretty significantly as well.

Thanks :D! Oh one more thing, should I change the robot profile in the Motion Editor? I`ve made a new Humanoid1.rbt file, the only thing I did was to add these two lines:

18:19:[19]Dynamixel:512
19:20:[20]Dynamixel:512



PS. 500g ??? Woow sounds like you did a lot of customizations!

Yes, that will work. I'm running it the same way with 23 servos.

Make sure you have the servos correctly IDed too!

Thanks! I`ve added the extra servos and made some modifications to the gate, I got to say its looking better than the original. :D
