Lets face it, servos aren't all that strong...at least when you buy them on a budget. The last thing you want to happen is to strip the gears. A robot stand is the perfect solution...or buy metal gear servos, buuuuut this is way cheaper. It's insulated and lifts your robot off the ground.

What You'll Need!

One of the best things about this is how cheap and simple this stand is. All you'll need is a solo cup, a ballast, and hot glue. I went with a block of 2x4.

Let's Play With Glue!

Heat up your hot glue gun and get ready! Glue the cup to your ballast.
