Servo Motors keep breaking

I have been attempting to program my Rapiro robot for a week or so now, and I have found that the servo motors break very easily. I have already had to replace the waist, right hand, and head motor. Is there anything that can be going on to make these servo motors malfunction? When I plug in the head motor now, it makes the entire robot not function. However, when I unplug it, the robot (except for the head) works.

How is going on when you would swap the head servo and the waist servo?

Hello Shota,

When I swap the head servo and the waist servo, the robot still does not function unless i unplug the head servo. I have performed multiple tests on the robot, and it seems that the head servo is the ultimate problem. I just would like to know why these servo motors are so fragile, because this is the third servo motor I am going to have to replace.

Thank you,

Steve
