Ordered a Stronger Servo for the Robotic Arm

Ok, I broke down and ordered a stronger Servo to use with the Robotic Arm.  The current set of servos are not strong enough to pick up the weight of the new wrist rotator, much less pick up a weight.  I am just trying to get to the point of picking up around 2 oz without breaking the bank.  The parts are ordered on a 3 day turn-around, however, the place that I am ordering it from, Lynxmotion, does not do a very good job of putting your order status online, nor do they share the tracking information until after the goods are delivered. Very bad policy.

I am also contemplating buying an additional Chumby One for use with a separate robot in the future, possibly a wheeled vehicle, and to make it available to the Robotics Club for their experimentation purposes.  Still need to consider the wedge robot for defense. Gotta save a little more coin however.
