Servo Jumping Around On Low Power / Power Dips

After lots of testing with servos, I have noticed that when the ezbv4 experiences a power dip when the battery is getting lower (Not too low - around the 7v mark with a lipo 7.4, 1300) the servos seem to reset themselves and search for their mid position.

How Can You Add Google Inquiry?

I was wondering if you could add a feature like Google Assistant to ARC so that you could ask your robot any google facts, make schedules, etc. The only thing I can think of to do is just buy a Google Home, install it on the robot, and try to match the voice. I am very new to this and apologize if this sounds basic. Thanks!

Six Keeps Burning Out Lever Servo Motors

I have a Revolution Six that I have used for one of my robotics classes the past two years. Last year, Six worked fine. This year, for some reason, it is burning out lever servo motors. I have gone through 5 already this year on the same robot. The burnouts occur on different ports, and happen at different times. I asked my students what they were...
