How To Add Robot Image On Auto Positioner?

I'm using an Iconia W3, and I can't seem to find the button to add your own custom robot image, and I can't drag or add more than 1 servo. Weird. I haven't tried it on my laptop yet, but is this a tablet issue? I'm sure there's a simple answer to this, thanks in advance.

Variable Speed With Joystick And Continuous Rotation Servos

Hello everyone! first post here... I was a bit bummed when I found the joystick control with "Use variable movement speed" checked, did not change the speed of continuously rotating servos.
