How Do I Set Servo Limits

Hi, How can I set the limits for a set of servos prior to the rest of the system initializing? While using the autoposition window it initializes with the servos set to 90 deg. That breaks some servos for me. So I created a frame called rest which I try to set first. Even then, I can move the servos beyond their limits in the autoposition window...

Bad Servo

There is no normal start up...

I was wondering (and not to get greedy or anything) but would it be possible to create an Emotion and Face plugin as well?.... These apis are fantastic and add so much extra vision functionality to ARC... But If not, again thanks for what you have done so...

Power - Not Working - 3D Printed Six Robot

Hello All, I am building my own Six robot with 3D printed parts and MG996R servos. I have sadly run into some issues. First off is a power issue from what I believe. I am using a 6xAA battery pack to run my robot. The total amount of power it is delivering is 7.4 - 7.8 volts and 15 - 16 amps. Am I giving too many amps? When all 12 servos are...
