I don't understand how it works. If you attach the camera, does it let you rotate the camera up and down and side to side?

You can either use servos and a hot glue gun to attach the camera for pan/tilt, or use the pan/tilt kit
An example of building the pan/tilt yourself (without the kit) can be found in the tutorial section: http://www.ez-robot.com/Tutorials/Default.aspx?id=9
I plan to make a boxbot for my first project, but I will update my progress when I actually order the kit and start building. I'm just planning for right now but will hope to get to building soon. I still not sure whether I should use the pan/tilt, two servos that are hot glued together, or a Lynxmotion Pan and Tilt Kit (which will save two servos) for a camera on top like in the tutorial. What do you think I should do? Either way, I'd just like to add that you and EZ-Robot have inpired me to expand my interests in robotics. Thanks Dj
For your next robot, you'll make the decision based on the weight of the stuff connected to the pan/tilt. You may connect the pan/tilt to a head, which will way more than the camera alone.
Just personal opinion though, there is no right answer.
it'll make sense when you have it in front of you
Is it possible to switch between grippers with a button?
