Hi all , I have a full scale Arnold that I've been building , and will be moddimg to look like the battle damaged version in the movie .
Here he is here in my basement . The last pic is a 1/6th scale of how he's supposed to look .
I have most of the parts other than the battle damaged knee .
I'm thinking of making the battle damaged arm moving at the shoulder and elbow . Basically use the mannequin as a mold and make new parts with joints .
I think it would be cool to have some degree of rotational movement in the waist also.
Would you guys use servos or steppers for movement in the arm ?
When steppers loose power , I believe they also lose there ability to hold, and when they power up again , would they go back to there previous locations ?
Another option would be geared servos or I believe somewhere I've seen geared Stepper motors .
I think steppers sound better robotically, and would be more realistic
