Servo Stops Working While Testing

I got a serious problem recently. Few days ago, I was testing the six. But after about 10 minutes, one of the servos didn't work, it's broken. Then I replaced it with another servo. After about 5 minutes, one of the servos didn't work either (not the new one). This time I saw there were some gas coming out. I guess it was burned out. So I stop...

Question About Mixing Order And Pre-Order Items And Shipping Costs

I am putting together an order of some items currently available (batteries, maybe a couple of servos) and some items that are on pre-order (new sensors, maybe an adventure bot), as well as pulling together a group by for US customers who only want a couple of small items in order to save on shipping costs. Will the entire order be held until the...

The Inverted Pendulum

@EZ Robot.... I know you don't have a control for it yet so I am going by the picture of it in the store only. I think I have a pretty good idea of how it works...

I did ask something similar in another post regarding voltage, but didn't...

How Can Two Commands Be Run At The Same Time?

I am trying to get two commands to run at the same time ( without success ). For example: Left(1,2000) ControlCommand("Auto Position", AutoPositionFrame, "Stretch Left", 10,1,1) The program runs the first line, once that is completed then the next line runs.

Control Arrangements

Is there any way to arrange the controls in the project windows and then get them to stay where I have put them. They seem to shuffle each time one is added. Thanks.

Wifi Camera

I was looking at the shop, intending to start getting my equipment sometime in July or August and I noticed the Wifi camera is no longer listed. Was it discontinued? If not, how would I go about getting that? I need to put a camera somewhere it rotates, so I can't really use the wired type unless someone knows a camera compatible slip ring I can...
