626 +The arm is robust mechanically, but the servos can be damaged by improper use. An example would be if the arm was told to move to an unobtainable position, like the surface the arm is mounted to, or by crashing the arm into itself, or other objects. The elbow servo is the most vulnerable because it holds the entire weight of the forearm. Load balancing springs should be added to reduce some of this load. </font>

629 +People do not like holding heavy objects with their arms outstretched in front of them. Servo based robot arms don't like it much either. Remember, the most important rule for servo based robot
630 + arms: Park the arm when not in motion! When it's moving or at rest it's usually ok. When it's holding an object it should do so for the minimum amount of time required to do the job. You can always touch the servo case to see if it's getting hot.</b> </font>
