i was working on my boe bot and i had finally managed to properly connect the ir LED's and the receptors and the boe bot functioned correctly avoiding walls etc. then i wanted it to also avoid edges so i bot 2 more receptors and an ultrasonic range finder to cover the bots blind spot. i conected everything but when i went to turn it on it wouldnt. the power light wont come on and the wheels wont turn or anything. i tried chaging the batteries and disconnecting everything but still nothing. did i break my boe bot ?

    It sounds like you accidentally connected Vdd and Vss. This shouldn't cause permanent damage, but will drain batteries. Disconnecting all the I/O pins to the prototyping area, and unplugging the servo plugs, should at least allow you to talk to the BS2 from your PC.
