Do you have a limiting resistor on the battery pack to simulate a solar cell?

See ya,

Hi,

Maybe this subject is old news? I've been thinking about doing a Chiu s=
tyle walker, but have not found similar gear box motors. I now plan to use =
three old Futaba servos, as I discovered how to modify them.
If anyone is interested in the process please let me know. I could writ=
e up the conversion and forward it.
The main point is that they are reversable DC motors and not stepper mo=
tors. Perhaps I'm the last one on earth to discover this ;-)

Joe
