Galapagos Bot

I have checked all of my servo alignments and they all appear to be correct. They all have clear movement and are properly aligned but I notice when the bot walks some of Servos jump and skip movement. They sometimes are not fluid. I have held the bot in my hand and tested the movement and they still skip. Is this normal? Should they always be fluid movement as long as nothing obstructs them? Do I have bad servos?

It's wifi interference for certain. The commands to move the servos are sent via wifi. The wifi communication will be slower latency if there is interference. Each command is send over a tcp wifi packet. If there is delay in a servo moving or occasional jerky movement, that is wifi interference.

Changing to a different wifi channel should help. Depends on the saturation of wifi in your area.

Haven't had time to check it. But that must be the problem.
