Protecting Servo Wires from Abrasion In order to protect the servo wires from unnecessary abrasion during routine usage, we suggest using some kind of rubber glue or silicone adhesive on the wire. The picture highlighted in blue depicts one method of securing the cable to the robot. This will help to prevent the cable from getting caught and torn between the frame and servo casing.

Another area requiring extreme caution is extending the range of motion past the physical capabilities. This should always be avoided. Failure to do so will most definitely cause damage to the motors and/or the robot’s frame. When you are programming motions or setting the robot’s initial configuration, always be mindful of gap between the servo casing and the metal frame.
