Ez Robot Abilities

I was just wondering if anybody has posted any videos of an ez-robot completing tasks other than just dancing or other very simple things.

Limiting Servo Speed After Network Connection

I have an annoying little problem I hope someone can help me with. So, when I power up my EZ-B4 the servos connected to it briefly pulse. Not a problem and expected. All my connected servos have limited speeds and set min/max movement positions. But, after the V4 and my PC connect and I move a servo, any servo, with my controller for the first...
