Roli The Climber

I was so impressed with the new HDD servos I decided to give them a try on a project I've been thinking about for a while... adding some "arms" and "legs" so that the Roli Rover could climb over obstacles.

So I added arms and legs to the Roli and wrote just a simple script to make it move and activate the HDD servos... see video below

The HDD servos are really great!
