Marco, you were correct. It was the rotational part of the joints that caused
the collapse. Once I switched the joints around, they held the weight.
I also added a shock to the downward joint to limit how far the joint can
expand.
There still is a lot of stress on the joints from weight. I can see them
bowing.
The struggle I have with Mecha building is engineering the joints to hold the
weight. My joints are always too weak and that causes unstability.
Thanks.
