    Hello John,

    Something has to be wrong with your keyboard. The shift key with , and . must be stuck! :D

    Can you post some pictures or videos you are referring to? Doesn't matter which part of the tube moves, but you might want to keep the center of gravity down.

    Before getting into any discussion, please correct your grammar and punctuation. English is your first language, but I can understand Google Translator a lot better.

    After you have done this, you will be able to communicate your problems and questions a lot better and people here will have a better chance of helping you. :thbup:

    And last, post pictures, and/or videos, and detailed information of your motors and equipment, what you have done so far and what you are trying to do.


    Unless you can do this, I'm afraid we won't waste our time second guessing here.
