HI. Yesterday, because of a damaged component, we had to separate the head from the robot to work on it on the desk. It was the omega-shaped neck component that became deformed. The damaged component has been replaced with a new one.
Moved mechanically the joint moves without obstructions or anomalies of any kind.
I await feedback on the movement under control.
