Title: Z Drive Tugboat
Post by: Sb_Maharana on March 09, 2013, 06:42:22 PM

I am assisting a group of engg. Students from nearby District in making a tugboat consists of Z drive propulsion units. Today we tested it on water, result is satisfactory. I am looking for 180 degree rotating servos, which will increase the maneuver of this tugboat.
