Bioloid Premium Type C

[UncleBob]

I find the Type A robot with 18 Servos a bit heavy to the extend that I cannot make it stand on one leg without leg servos getting overheat. Maybe it is just me and my lack of robotic knowledge, I can't seem to make the robot do the many motions I have in mind. It is hard to keep the balance.

So I decide to try the Type C robot with 16 servos.

I am surprise how each the parts are. 65g per servo. The bracket are also quite heavy. The Type C are noticebly much quicker. I can imagine that in a competition the robot needs to be lighter.

Here is something I can't do with Type A

What servo(s) do you think is the weak links in preventing a type A from doing these moves?

[UncleBob]

All servos from hip downward had failed me before depending on which moves I do.

i've had servos shutdown just by having the robot standing for too long.

ya, i used to put it in the fridge for 5 mins then stand on one foot again. But no need now with 16 servos. which reduce 160g.
