Has anyone found a way to work around the limitations of the EZB V4 with the Roboquad or any robosapien? Its sad that the support was dropped with the EZB V4. I was pumped to make an uber intelligent wifi based Roboquad - but will not work.

Shoulder Servos Don't Move

After charging the battery and inserting the cpu, I tried to check out which shoulder servo was left by following the tutorial. (After powering on of course) Neither shoulder servo moved. Am I doing something wrong or do I have a bad body?

[X] Close Control

Wow. I WISH that the [ x ] Close Control control on the ARC control windows said "ARE YOUR SURE ? (This will remove your control and all your programming of it for keeps!)"

To accomplish this, I first listed minimum capabilities...

I try to make a few intercative videos and I use the language output. When I go to the language output window, you can not mark the text. I must first mark it with ctr + a which is a little annoying. It would be...
