Help requested with programming "Official Arduino Robot"

I need some help programming a servo routine for the new "Official Arduino Robot".

So far, NONE of the standard Arduino servo routines function with this robot. "#include <Servo.h>" is the most common servo control routine and I get an "Error 17" whenever I attempt to use it.

More recent "standard" servo routines refuse to function as well.

It was a big shock that the robot included no servo control in its list of functions. "Forget something, Arduino???" :-)

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

First let me appologize to OddBot.

I realize now I didn’t include enough information. My error.

I did read the docs (there is no “manual”, just web docs on the primary Arduino website).

The error is actually "C:\arduino-1.0.5\libraries\Servo/Servo.cpp:103: multiple definition of `__vector_17’ ".

I have my USB cable going into the top “control” board. There is another USB port on the “motor” board.

I am using the Arduino IDE 1.05. None of the earlier versions support the robot.

Code:

#include <ArduinoRobot.h>
#include <Servo.h>

Servo myservo;

void setup() {
  // initialize the robot
  Robot.begin();

  // initialize the screen
  Robot.beginTFT();

  // get some time to place the robot on the ground
  delay(3000);

  // set the robot in line following mode
  Robot.setMode(MODE_LINE_FOLLOW);
 
  myservo.attach(9);
}

void loop() {

and so on…

I really hope this helps make it clearer than “mud”.

BTW

A little more information.

I get the same error if the robot IS NOT set to "MODE_LINE_FOLLOW"

Sorry for any additional confusion.

To Bajdi:

Please add:

#include <ArduinoRobot.h>

to the top of your code and then recompile…

You cannot run the robot without that line.

See the error you get…
