OK so finally I got a better camera and took some decent looking footage of Walbot, it now has some new features as well as a new circuit shield...enjoy.

ok so I just noticed that Firefox and youtube videos are not working for me on SOR, is anyone else noticing this, or am I going crazy.

you're going crazy. works fine here...
try clearing your browser cache. Or download CCleaner from piriform.

A circuit shield is what goes on top of the Arduino boards header pins, it kind of "plugs into" it and has all the hardware on it so that it can do what you want it to, in my case it has a H-Bridge, some LED's and more header pins.
Yeah youtube still not working and I also can't update my member tutorial with new youtube videos that I have, the Youtube link button is not there, and I can't even see that the video is there, it does however let me see the video in *yuck*internet explorer*yuck*, but I still can't edit it in that.

Do you mean that it won't play? Cuz that happens to me. All you gotta do is click on the video a bunch of times in random spots and it'll eventually work, lol. (Or at least it works for me)

I'm just wondering, instead of buying the custom-made circuit shield for like $30, could I buy this instead?http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=7914#

You could, but then again you could just use pref board, thats what I made the prototype with, but I wanted something that looked a lot more professional and something that would be easier for beginners that really didn't know how to go from a spool of wire, pref board, and some components and come up with a working product (thats difficult for even more intermediate people like me, I had to do a lot of debugging) with the amount of connections that had to be made. But if you feel your up to the challenge and want to save some bucks at the expense of aesthetics then go for it!

And about the problem it just show a blank space where the video box should be but is not, and in the tutorial editor it doesn't even show a space (but I know the video is there)...

I noticed, it cut overdosing coffee...... That's nice...

Here's another video and just as an update, it seems as though upgrading to Firefox 3 fixed the problem!

how much did it cost just for them to print the shield board?

It was like $30 total (thats pretty good considering most companies wont even consider making custom PCB's unless you order thousands) $20 for the board and a $10 set up fee
