  4. Gadget999 rated Silas's post Agree in the thread Question 350W vs 750W Motors — What Am I Missing?.

    Most 2DOF builds work fine with 350–400W motors because gearing boosts torque and real motion loads are lower than theoretical....

  7. Gadget999 rated Aerosmith's post Agree in the thread Question Sourcing actuators and power electronics.

    How much travel you need depends mainly on how the actuators are placed relative to the seat and how far away from the center they are....
