At the start of the instructions you are told that it is advisable to use the transfers provided to label each of the servo’s and cables to make identification easier. The diagram that is given isn’t very clear. I’ll try to provide a better one as I go, but at least from this step, the servos are labeled at the top of the instructions page, and is easy enough to add at this point. So for at least the shoulders I’ve now labeled them. You also get small ‘tags’ to allow you to label the end of the cable itself so I’ve also done that.
The instructions seem to jump about quite a bit in terms of what you build when, so now it’s onto the thigh and knee. This is a fairly big assembly and I certainly think it gives the 1HV it’s distinctive gait.
One thing to note during this part is that the curved slots in the aluminium pieces are fairly tight so you need to be careful not to bend the aluminium or to damage the servo casing.
You need the left and right Leg joints plus four servos. Note that two short cable and two long cable servos are required.
