Yes you are correct however, the mechanical arm reduces load by 25 kg x
Str ... and you can't get a walker with 50 load (the most I got was 40 or
maybe 48 ...) therefore the walker drone can not have higher than
Strength 1 cyber arms...

My question is the jaws have a different mechanical advantage than the
normal arms so what would the damage from the bite be? I may have to
follow my own advice and reverse engineer things; try to figure out how
many Newtons a strength 1 cyber arm can exert and so on ...
