Question about Boe - Bot

Hey everyone, I am very new to robotics. I have been working on my Boe - Bot and have run into a problem. When I load a program onto my robot and the 3 switch is set to 1 it loads and runs properly. However as soon as I turn the switch to 2 to turn on the servos the robot starts behaving unusual. For the most part it will run a tiny bit of the first bit of the program then start to do its own thing. Does anyone have any suggestions with what might be causing this problem?

Thanks.

    Sounds like you have either a) low batteries or b) some other reset cause. Have you tied it with fresh batteries? This is especially true if you are using AAs.

    Thanks, I figured it out. It turn out one of the screws on my battery pack was not tightened all the way so it wasn't allowing the battery to rest evenly in the pack.
    Thanks for the help.
