Isn't using just electric motors to do this is just as effective?

[mditulli]

Maybe as effective, but not as efficient. Why use many mechanical pieces (motor components) when the same work can potentially be done with four wires? Less parts to fail, about 1/8 the weight, and much less voltage used.

may i know where didi u huy the wire nad what are the name/ specs?

thanks

@Skysailor01 thats a p i m p idea ima steal it jajaja

[Skysailor01]

thats good for for spare parts for humans, like fingers or something else, and you can use your nerve electricity. or not?
