137 | Make sure the servo is aligned to mid-position, and the gripper is halfway open. Now the servo and gripper will be aligned correctly. Remove the |
138 | servo screw and horn. Slide the servo into the gripper from the bottom. You may need to wiggle it a bit to get it seated properly. Use the servo |
139 | screw to attach the servo. Tighten this down, but then unscrew it half a turn. Too much friction can bind the servo.</font></td> |
