project details, EZ-Cloud save and robot design editor all have an option which allows setting if the project requires a servo Profile when loading. Not all revolutions require a servo profile, such as Six, AdventureBot or Roli. The only robot that really needs a servo profile is JD or E.D.I MechWarrior because they walk and servo aligntment is important. This prevents prompting to load the servo profile when it isn't required

wait for speech in RoboScratch speaks a message if timeout
new Blockly commands for Play Audio (wait) and Stop Audio
