    Nice video!
    I too had the heads on the screws shear off until I fixed the problem; there is still plastic in some of the cutout holes. You need to get a pen or watchmaker's screwdriver and push the plastic out. The screws then go in fine.

    +Julian Ilett It is not commonly known but the servos generally have an odd number of splines. Useful for fine tuning the neutral position by selecting the most appropriate hole. A sort of 'vernier' adjustment

    An old woodworking tip that works well with polymers for the most part, is to use bar soap and run the threads along the surface.

    Start using Linux and stop worrying about stupid proprietary drivers not getting updated…
    Both of those chips work out of the box in any modern Linux distribution.
