Hobby servo shaft attachment mechanism

An apparatus for providing enhanced hobby servo motor operational capacity, the apparatus comprising:

• a hobby servo motor having a rotatable output shaft, wherein the rotatable output shaft is splined in that it includes a plurality of circumferentially distributed splines;
• a shaft attachment mechanism having a spline receiving portion, the spline receiving portion including a plurality of circumferentially distributed protrusions sized and dispersed so as to support a functional engagement of the shaft attachment mechanism to the rotatable output shaft, the functional engagement being such that rotation of the rotable output shaft causes a corresponding rotation of the shaft attachment mechanism;
• wherein the shaft attachment mechanism further comprises an elongated shaft that is positioned inline with the rotatable output shaft when the shaft attachment mechanism is functionally engaged to the rotatable output shaft;
• wherein the rotatable output shafts include a top surface that is positioned within a plane that is substantially perpendicular relative to the plurality of circumferentially distributed splines;
• wherein the shaft attachment mechanism includes a top receiving surface that, when the shaft attachment mechanism is functionally engaged to the rotatable output shaft, is positioned proximite to the top surface of the rotatable output shaft within a plane that is substantially perpendicular relative to the plurality of circumferentially distributed splines;
• and
• wherein the top receiving surface flushly engages the top surface of the rotatable output shaft when the shaft attachment mechanism is functionally engaged to the rotatable output shaft.
