Status
In Progress. Initial attempt failed due to insufficient stall torque on the servos (HXT900). Will retry with HS-645MG Ultra-Torque servos.
UPDATE: New servos seem to work well. Prototype implemented and running. Only final installation/cleanup required now. A more portable power supply is also required
