Hello,
Everything works, exept that th servomotors doesn't turn.
I tested them on an other robot, and they worked.

    So you know the Stamp is fine because "everything works".

    The servos are ok because you tested them on another robot.

    The only thing left is the interconnection between the two:
    1. is your power supply strong enough to drive the servos?
    2. is the servo signal coming from the right pin on the stamp?
    3. if the stamp and servos use different power supplies, are the two grounds (neg) tied together?
    4. is the program right?

    '
    Are You sure the power switch is in the #2 position?/Not #1
    '
    Could be a faulty power switch.Check the servo header for 5volts when the switch is in the #2 position.
