    What does the probe bot do? Does it have a camera?

    I see that you have some vex parts on your r2d2 bot. What kind of pulse do the servos/"motors" take? A standard 1 to 2ms pulse? Thanks

    The servos are only for head rotation. The drive motors will be 2 steper motors in the middle foot. I am using a boe board and a mini atom board for the control and functions. There is allot of cool info on building r2d2's on r2d2 builders cub web site on how to make your own. I haven't finished the body yet but I will have pics up of it soon as it is finished.

    The boe-bot is a robot I made for my daughter. I just thought it looked really cool..lol It roams with ir and shines its red beam in the darkest areas of the room while it roams, and scares away the boogie man for her...lol

    That explains the purple. [noparse]:)[/noparse] My main statement about the vex part was: What kind of pulse do they take? Is it the standard 1 to 2 ms (pulsout 500 to 1000 on a bs2). The servos would be controlled the same as the vex "motors", which I would like to implement in my design, but don't know the pulse width.
