Rad Robot With Ezb-V4

Hi.

I'm a bit lost and need some help.

I'm trying to convert an old RAD 1.0 robot to run as a remote viewing robot.

I have the existing servos connected through H bridges to D4 and D5.

I have three questions:

1 - I think I'm getting brown outs from too much power demand. Should I use an NPN transistor to deal with this?

2 - I have not been able to figure out how to get the motors to work with the arrow keys.

3 - Is it possible to install a microphone? I assumed the camera would have audio but there does not appear to be any.

Any help would be much appreciated. -Saba in LA

In my RAD v1, I use an Arduino uno and an Adafruit motor shield. The shield handles all 4 motors and a servo for the neck. (This bot was built before I got my first EZB). I took out the chest gun and mounted a speaker there. I was working on replacing the head with a 3DPrinted head that will hold a Samsung cell phone. But now after using the EZB, I plan to convert it all over to the Small EZB board when it comes out.
