Change Release Notes
Someone asked if they could upload a photo of their robot to an ARC project. Ironically, I had been working on a new Virtual Robot Control - which provides a visual display of your robot servo positions. This is a much friendlier method of organizing servo settings.

HI DJ

Steve_C.
Yeah that was Me.......!
DJ Sures,You sure you didn't slip some sort of mind syncing device in my EZ-B pack?
That's the fourth time we've 'connected'in as many updates...
Guys I can't do a rain dance to save me in a drought but there's just a chance that I can .... lol
Thanks again DJ Sures. You've made my day!
This is phenomenal DJ! So simple and intuitive.
Thanks soooo much.
I love all these new features... wonder when I will learn all the "old" ones let alone get to these before they too become "old"
This is really good direction for ARC ... something similar integrating a Kinect and other sensors would be outstanding.... all in good time I guess..
