I am now the proud owner of an inadvisable number of Robotis AX-12 servos -72 to be exact. Most of them are the middle gen AX-12+ variants, but it looks like at least one set is the final stage AX-12As

Of course, dear reader, you must be asking “Why?!” ( if not “how? and “…what?”)

Back in my Trossen/Interbotix days, I had such a fun time taking robots to Maker Faires and showing off the little beasts. I still do something similar with a variety of robots at school STEAM days, but it’s very been using pretty bare-basic hobby servos.

Now don’t get me wrong - AX-12As were only a step above hobby servos when they were new and now they’re just this side of obsolete. However between the code and my experience with them (and a touch of nostalgia ) they make the perfect servo for what I want to do.

So after finding an eBay listing for 4 Bioloid Comprehensive kits for a steal, I had to do it.

Sputnik. :)
