Got it. Tried. Nothing but our messages tonight without doing one of those
creative word association sessions. It's definitely easier to:

because it's only hobby stuff. Nothing serious. No reason not to wait.

Not huge perhaps, but I definitely have a used presciption medicine bottle
full of horns, wheels, and what have you. The trouble is they are not all
the same spline pattern (which I learned too late), and they do NOT have
brand names -- so if I fiddled around until I found one that fit the servos
being upgraded, I still wouldn't know which pattern to buy in a new order
from a distance.
I dropped a note to Parallax tech support, and I'm sure Jon, Eric, or one of
the TS folks will answer tomorrow. I'd just trot to the nearest hobby store
with robot under arm, but medical problems make the logistics a pain. I try
to do most things over the internet.
