Broken Jd Shoulder
One of my wonderful students drove their JD off the desk and broke the shoulder joint. Is there a 3D model available to print? If not I am happy to develop an .stl file based on the EZ Clip female file.

Left Shoulder
I have tried all the debugging and trouble shooting videos and can not get the left shoulder to move at all. When the robot is off you can turn it but when I turn it on it is stuck in place. This is a new out the box robot. I even connected it to another servo port to see if I could get that to move. Is is possible that it is just broken? What...

Distance Sensor

It's accuracy is 2cm (3/4") to 450cm (177"). If it would work I am planning on attaching sensor on the underside...

Multi Color Tracking Question
An implementation question. When tracking (multicolor) with two objects matching different colors, JD appears to always return first color defined in the CameraObjectColor variable. The other color object variables either have the first color in the detection group or the last color defined. For example: with a red ball only, it sees a red ball....

Camera Unreliable ? Using Blockly
I am trying to get jd to recognize different object by using multicolor tracking. I have defined 3 colors (red, green and yellow) for multicolor tracking. Using blockly, I have an if statement "if cameraobjectcolor_1 = "red" . If is sees red it says I see red. etc The problem is that it is unreliable. I can see the tracking box...
