The rated maximum payload for each arm (at full reach) is at the rated speed for each motor. Moving any joint at a higher speed will decrease the payload capacity of the robot. 160 -1. Although each servo can provide significantly more torque than is needed for the rated payload (and therefore means the arm can support much higher loads at lower speeds, the mechanical and modular structure of the arms may fail. We strongly suggest testing and using each arm in a highly controlled and safe setting where, if a failure should occur with one or more joints, that nothing will break should the arm fall. 161 -1.
