Well, um… I was bored so I looked through both SES Arm assembly guides and picked out the parts used. I double checked it, but there might be mistakes. For the Rotating Gripper and metal base, I didn’t write down all of the parts needed as they can be bought as cheap kits. The metal base can be bought without a servo and the rotating gripper can be bought with a HS-475HB servo. If requested, I can write the full list of parts for the rotating gripper w/o servo. The guide seemed a bit long and complex so I didn’t bother with it ^^;;

Here it is:

[size=150]SES Arm Assembly Guide BOM[/size]

Base v1
Quantity Item Name Part Number Price Total Price
1x (BR-NS) Base Rotate Kit (no servos) $19.95
1x (ASB-13B) Aluminum Dual Servo Bracket - Brushed (Single)* $9.95

TOTAL: $29.90

Notes:

Dual Servo Bracket is uncluded in the arm kit, but not base kit.

Assembly Instructions use a sheet of lexan and bracket but no part # specified. I am assuming it comes with the Arm Kit.

Base requires one servo for rotation. A HS-422 to a HS-645 will be sufficient. Refer to Step #5 for chart

Metal Arm Base
Quantity Item Name Part Number Price Total Price
1x (MAB-01) Metal Arm Base (no servos) 49.95

TOTAL: $49.95

Notes:
None.

SES Arm v1
Quantity Item Name Part Number Price Total Price
1x (ASB-06B) Aluminum “L” Connector Bracket Two Pack (Brushed) $5.95
2x (HUB-08 ) Aluminum Tubing Connector Hub (pair) $16.00
1x (AT-06) Aluminum Tubing - 3.375" $2.50
1x (ASB-04B) Aluminum Multi-Purpose Servo Bracket Two Pack (Brushed) $11.95
1x (ASB-10B) Aluminum Long “C” Servo Bracket with Ball Bearings Two Pack (Brushed) $12.90
1x (AT-05) Aluminum Tubing - 2.250" $2.00
1x (ASB-09B) Aluminum “C” Servo Bracket with Ball Bearings Two Pack (Brushed) $12.90

1x (LG-NS) Little Grip Kit (no servos) $15.00
2x (SPR-01) Load Balancing Spring - 1.5"* 1.58lb $3.9
TOTAL: $89.05

Notes:

Load Balancing Spring is optional, but recommended.

The assembly guide uses a Servo Y-Adapter (SYA-01 $1.95) and 6/12" Servo Extender Cables (SEA-01/SEA-02 $1.95)

SES Arm Wrist Rotate Upgrade (SESAWR-KT $41.74) is optional. Read Step 8 carefully if you will not be using it. Kit includes a HS-475HB servo

SES Gripper Rotate v1
Quantity Item Name Part Number Price Total Price
1x (SESAWR-KT) SES Arm Wrist Rotate Upgrade $41.74

TOTAL: $41.74

Notes:

Kit includes a HS-475HB servo

OVERALL NOTES:

All ASB parts are Brushed (silver) Aluminum. To get Black, remove the “B” at the end.

For the most part it is all no-servo except where specified.

The Arm V1 requires: 4x HS-645, 1x HS-475, and 1x HS-422. Higher oz-in servos can be used to increase strength.
Base v1 can use a servo between HS-422 and HS-645.

There is a space in (HUB-08 ) after the 8 because 8 + ) is an emoticon.

I have the BOM for the BRAT, Biped Mike/Pete (I think thats their names. Im talking about the full biped and the biped w/ rotating waist). I also have the BOM for something similar to BRAT Jr. I was messing with a design like it earlier but seems Mike (I think it was Mike (SN96) posted his first). I also have some other concept BRAT modification BOMs and other goodies on my old HDD. I can test them out of course if someone donates like $800 or so for the experiments =P

I am not using the HDDs, they are in storage, but I can dig them out and pop 'em into my external A.C. Ryan HDD enclosure (god I love this thing. IDE/SATA + USB 2.0/eSATA for $38) and get the excel files out. I also have the above list of parts in excel. If anyone wants, I can upload it. If you guys find any mistakes let me know so I can update my list.

Cheers,
