Controller Stuck In Client Mode

Servo Profile In Lessons

I was about to post a few tips on starting to build and use the Six robot in one of the threads (since I just put one together) when I realized the Servo Profile step was missing from the lesson steps. Looking around, the only references to it I found had to do with JD and a couple having to do with loading one from mobile apps. In the lesson steps...
