The Revolution Six robot I purchased has loss six servos and can no longer move with assistance and makes a lot of gear grinding noise. I ask about it the past but never heard back on it. So I am asking again where and how to I replace the defective servos on the robot? For the amount paid for the robot it is a sad fact for it just to sit and the shelf collecting dust.
use the Contact Us form.copie this topic and ez wil contact you.
any chance for a video from what is happening?
Losing 6 servos is, indeed, troubling. If I may, I like to ask a question or two. Did the loss occur all at once or over a period of time and usage with the servos going one by one? Or was this something that never worked because of the six servos being bad out of the box? Thanks.

the video of the robot with all servos trying to work with audio.
Looks like your Six is more than 8 months old so not sure what can be done... However, either way you should take the advice above and send EZ Robot an email about this...
***EDIT*** As jeremie mentioned metal gear servos probably won't strip due to having metal gears. What is more likely to happen is they will strip the plastic splines in their brackets or burn out....
@jfew Thanks for the video, another test you could try is touching the problem servo to see how hot it is compared to the other servos.
On an unrelated note, @Richard R not seeing your Fry avatar threw me off, lol.
@jfew unfortunately because you ran your servo wires through the hole in the servo brackets, the servos themselves are likely are tugging their own wires right out of the servo causing intermittent contact to the servo electronics. Or the wires are getting pinched between the body of the servo and the bracket.
Please change the way the servo wires are run back to the standard configuration.
