How To Stop A Moving Servo

I'm learning how to use EZB scripts. I'm doing a very simple exercise. I make a servo move , and want it to stop it as soon as a sensor makes a digital input high.

Servo Causes Ezb V4 To Reboot

I purchased the Developer kit in hopes of trying out the Teddy Ruxpin project. I have the EZB v4 powered by the 6 rechargeable batteries like recommended; however, if I attach a servo to it, it will reboot if the servo attempts to move more that a few degrees. Is the rechargeable batteries only powerful enough to turn on the EZB? Do I need...

I imagine it would be something along the lines of one negative connection, and each colors positive connection going to 3 different digital ports....
