PING bracket
My bracket arrived today , and after assembly, i run the demo roaming w/ ping. The bot sits in one spot, and the servo turns completely to the right, and attempts to keep turning but its too far. Is something burnt up?

I have the PING ))) sensor going to servo port 15, the servo that controls the bracket going to 14.
The IR leds are connected as specified in the Building and testing the IR PAIRS, activity $1 page 237 of the boe bot..... they are working circuits, and they can navigate the activity correctly.
Anyway, I have a standard servo where the left is about 800uS, the center is about 1250uS, and the right is about 1600uS. So, there are variations in manufacturing that you may have to take into account.

PS.. according to this code http://www.parallax.com/Portals/0/Downloads/src/prod/RoamingWithPING-V1.0.zip , it does require the leds?

I think I need to add more weight to the back near the caster? He does this thing where he kinda hops / tilts forward and backwards as moving.....any suggestions?
The extra cell adds weight to the caster and the rear of the BoeBot and it adds about 1.2V to the 4.8V from the standard 4-cell battery holder when you're using rechargables.
