[chbot] Free stepper motors

[Chris Hellyar]

Hi Richard / Yani..

One of the pairs with the wee reduction drive would be good for more 
than 3kg of load.

You're best of with some kind of reduction anyway if you're swinging a 
heavy load.  The inertia with a 3kg load dircect driven could do some 
damage to the camera/gymbal if you had a bug that gave you full power, 
and the vibrations from a direct driven servo might be an issue or some 
cameras as well..

Cheers, Me.
