Jd Left Shoulder Broken

The same day I got my revolution jd was the same day his left shoulder servo stopped working:( . Can you please help? And one note: when I calibrate the servo, it won't work. When I tried rebooting, still wouldn't work. Please help! There is so much it can't do when it's left shoulder won't rotate! Also, I don't want to get any money or payments of any kind involved in this! The robot was expensive enough. Just please let it be easy! Remember.. No calibration, purchases, 3d printing or difficult and complicated methods! my robot is a revolution jd

@thetechguru, @Richard R He's probably a kid. Must be nice to get some extra special treatment though, we've all suffered loss of cash and little failures here and there to create...it's part of the learning process...no great engineer didn't break or burn anything up to get to where they're at...it's all trial and error.

Please do not post your private address and other private information on the public forum. I recommend having adult supervision while using the forum.

Please obtain adult supervision while operating the robot to prevent further damage.

Hello. I teach about 50 students who are your age using these products. Take your time and don't move the robot servos manually. All of these students are much smarter than the average 12 year old. Most test at grade levels at least 2 years higher than they are. Most of these students make this mistake, or want to rush through the build.

What I have seen in this thread is a lack of patience. It's normal for highly intellectual people to want to rush through things. Highly intellectual doesn't mean smart. Smart people have patience. A highly intellectual person who has patience makes a very good robot builder.

Patience is something learned over time by making mistakes and learning from them. I am sure that everyone on this forum would agree that research and patience go a long way toward helping you achieve your goals.

As I recommended before, if the shoulder never worked, us the Contact Us form and request a warranty replacement. If you broke the leg servo, you will probably need to buy a replacement, but respond to the email I sent you last week and I'll get you up and running while we figure this out. I have a bunch of spares and won't miss two or three for a while.
