Starting A New High School Ez Robot Curriculum

I am completely new to the EZ Robot world and plan to start a robotics class using EZ Robot. I have another class where I teach LEGO Mindstorms robotics. I will be ordering the JD, Roli, and Six kits this summer in preparation for the new class. If anyone has suggestions on how I should approach my new curriculum, your guidance will be very much...

Six Keeps Burning Out Lever Servo Motors

I have a Revolution Six that I have used for one of my robotics classes the past two years. Last year, Six worked fine. This year, for some reason, it is burning out lever servo motors.

Im trying to help out the student with JD, but some of the problems extend to the other robots. First of all on JD, there is no easy way to mount the ultrasonic sensor onto it. I tried...

They are using the standard, canned, Six movements for their routine and have added a 5-minute mp3 to choreograph to. Its basic stuff, but their Six consistently loses WiFi communication, thus interrupting the dance...
