ARC And Autonomous Robots
Hello All! I recently ordered my EZ-B Complete Kit and can't wait to receive it. One of my main interests is writing various programs for the robot so it can act on it's own (autonomous) without me having to control it's every move.

Camera Tracking Question
Hello, I am having an issue with the Camera tracking. The x axis tracking works correctly but the y axis is reversed. When tracking a color and the color moves down the camera head moves up. In the settings though when I click inverse direction for the y axis, it causes the servo to go haywire, literally just jumps all over the place. Any idea?
