Yes, you can’t just write one word and hit submit - because that’s not conversational. The old forum was the same - in fact the old forum enforced grammar punctuation as well. It’s not trouble with the site, it’s merely direction to ensure we’re using everyone’s time effectively:)

On the note about your robot - yes! It’s great. I agree the color scheme is eye catching as well. To save a project for others to see on the cloud, it needs to be marked as public.

Thanks for the positive comments..(I guess I am a little out there with my ideas.)

Thanks DJ :  checked the public box and it looks like that was it .

This is a video of earlier Re3d looking for our dog Cricket. (who runs away when Re3d is working) but you can see he seems to fnction ok , its just the InitScript problem.

The easiest init script is within the connection control itself. Simply press the gear icon of the connection control and edit the script box for the appropriate connection.

Add servo() commands to move the servos into their initilization positions. Or what I do is create an Auto Position frame and jump to it. Have a look at one of the example ezrobot projects, such as JD or Six

Hey Thanks DJ,  I moved the AutoPosition jump at the beginning of the script. This seems to have solved the issue.

And... The bigger Thanks.. To you for all the EZB hardware, software, and tutorials which you have created here. I definitely would not have even started a project like this without it.

Thank you for the kind words:D - every time someone says something like that, it keeps the entire team motivated to continue making awesome tools for you to build with

Just looked it over and .. I will use it for the speeds, but will still leave the AutoPosition there.

thanks again.

My family has now learned to live with a robot in the family   we are all having fun with this and learning something as well.. this video was tonight...
