Robosapien as a source of servos?

Posted by DA on December 6, 2009, 2:53 pm

Hi guys, hope I can get some insight here on whether a Robosapien picked
up on Craigslist or eBay could be a good source of servos. I know, it
would be a shame to tear one apart but I see them advertised anywhere from
$20 - $40 and, having just paid $23 each (plus shipping) for Hitec
HS-635HB servos I needed for a repair of one of my robotic arms, it got me
thinking if anything useful in terms of parts can be harvested from an
old(er) Robosapien. Did anyone ever dig into theirs to see what's inside
and whether the servos are of useable size/form factor?

Thanks!
