A Place To Buy Robot Cases?

Hi Mates, I'm a very bad fabricator and have been scouring the web for a robot case that would look nice in a contemporary high tech office / home and can't find anyone who sells cool looking robot cases. It just can't look like a tool chest with wheels. I've completed a mini scale of the autonomous bot with the rover chassis and I have the parts...

Help With Servos

Hello I'm new to EZ-Robot. I have been on the boards for some time but just recently purchased 3 EZ-B4 boards. I have been playing with them and cant get a servo to a darn thing. I'm using standard servos. My servos are rated up 6 Volts. So I'm running the EZ-B4 on 5 volts. The EZ-B4 reports low battery constantly and no matter what I do I cant get...

We have called...
