Can a servo work with objects it will move in the 5 to 10 lb class? I need one motor to rotate 10 lbs around the vertical axis at maybe 2 rpm and a second motor at 90 degrees to the first at 2rpm also. All the servos I have seen are small and looked delicate. If they are is there a 3rd choice.

The first motor mentioned could be a stepper and be turned off when it got in position since there isn't anything to cause it to move or I could apply a brake of some sort. The second motor is the problem, the load would make it tip.

Sure you can learn to be a programmer, it will take the same amount of time for me to learn to be a Doctor.
