Challange while testing Penguin for first time

Hi,
I am new to this hobby. Started with Penguin robot. After assembling the robot, while running the servo calibration program (walk command), the legs attached to stride Servo is not moving freely. Tried loosen the nuts but the servo is not moving freely. If I remove the legs, the servo is running fine.
Please help.

    It sounds like a mechanical bind. Check the black
    delron linkage that connects the stride servo to the legs.
    When it's working properly, with Penguin Robot switched
    off, the feet will move relatively freely back and forth
    with slight pushing by hand.

    You are right. I have removed the Black Linkage and put it back again. Also unscrewed the nuts in the legs and put it back again. Now its working smooth.

    Thanks a lot.
