have seen pictures of roli using rotation servo for camera and lever only for arms

Hmm, one can probably use "lever" servos only for the arms, but the ARC instructions for Roli say to use "rotation" servos at the connection to the main body (i.e. shoulder joint). So that's what we tried to do. Same with the current video in the "Shop" area, it shows rotation servos.

Not the biggest problem for us right now, we're having issues connecting to the EZ-B via WiFi on the kid's computer. Trying via my laptop now.

What happened to the original part that came with Roli's neck assembly?
#22  
Not that it really matters any, but I think you have the upper neck (rotate) servo on backwards... Check Roli's picture in the online store to see what I mean.....
#23  
@jdebay Yeah I need to work on printing the parts out myself. Your print looks good.
#24  
Just received mine. As others here have reported though, instead of 5 lever and 3 rotation servos, it came with 7 lever and 1 rotation servo.

I'll reach our on the Contact Us link for a solution.

Charging up the battery now and will test when I get home from work tonight.

@Alan...if you have a 3d printer you can probably turn 2 of your lever servos into rotational ones....

@thetechguru Yes contact customer support and we will help you get the proper parts.

@Richard Your obsolutly right, untill you get the proper parts from us you can 3D print them for the time being. The parts are located here.
#27  
Unfortunately I do not have a 3D printer to create my own parts.
#28  
Yeah, 3d printer is on my wish list, but going to be some time before I can get one.

DHL just dropped off the plastic bits to convert the lever servos to rotation servos (I actually used 2 from my dev kit so I can give Roli longer arms).

Thanks for quickly taking care of this EZ-Robots!

Yeah, I saw all the DHL envelopes on the desk in the office camera, and was going to comment that it must be Roli parts, but I got busy and when I looked again they were gone.

Also super pleased with DHL. they have come a long way in the past few years. They sent me a text last night to say it was due to be delivered today, and a link to options to change the address or have it held at their location. I am home sick today, so I re-directed it from my office to my home. Showed up with no problem.

Edited to remove comments about arms buzzing. Discovered it was that the AutoPosition in the Roli example had the claws at 95 instead of 90 in the resting position, so they were buzzing like crazy.

My parts were just delivered. I have to hand it to DHL. No other company would deliver at 9:15pm.
