broken threads

I broke my robots arm today. How? I set him down on his belly with the power on. He was in a one arm push-up for a moment before I toggled the power off. Apparently there was enough weight on the servo to break two threads on a cog wheel. Each cog wheel is made of plastic, not metal.

I’ll be evaluating internal components for practical load requirements with my next purchase – lesson learned.
