I am back with more details =]
I originally purchased a 6 Cell Li-MH 7.2V 2800mAH battery to power my bot, but it turns out the servos I purchased are only rated at 6V max, while the battery runs at 8.6V when fully charged and SSC-32 servo controller does not have any voltage regulation for servo connection. Oops.
The first time I hooked everything up and selected "ALL 1500" in Lynxterm software(a freeware from distributor), which brings ALL servos to mid position, I nearly jumped out of my seat because there was a loud buzzing sound coming from all servos. Fortunately, nothing got fried.
Anyways, as I mentioned in the previous post, I am still waiting for a few components (and a new battery) to arrive; I haven't received the goods yet - in fact, they are 2 days over due already. Without a new battery, I can't really move on. When I do receive them however, I will make a few mods here and there and hopefully, I will have something going by this weekend.
In the mean time, here are some pictures and a video to give you an idea what I have.
