Ez-Bit Heavy Duty Servo Does Not Fit Kit Servo
Hello, I just printed the EZ-Bit Heavy Duty Servo 90degrees. Then I tried fitting it to the EZ-Robot servos that came with the kit and it does not fit.

A Question Of Torque
I was wondering if someone could give me a little clarity here. If using gears to reduce a servo's / motor's rotation by 50%, will that increase it's torque per cm? I'm going to be using a 40kg Servo and I am going to reduce its rotation from 210 degrees to 105.

C++ Programming
I notice that there is a C# forum and a Visual Basic forum, but not a C++ forum. Somewhere on the website I got the impression that C++ is supported for programming. This would be convenient for me. What is possible? Thanks.
