After my Cubee Robot Bluetooth Speaker took a fatal dive at the floor, I am determined to fix my Cubee problems I found in Part 1. In Part 2 I tore down Cubee and I Identified that the right leg and hip servos were broken and needed to be replaced. In this Part 3, I replaced the Cubee right ankle servo, what I imagined would be a simple task of extracting the broken servo and swapping in a replacement took far longer and was more difficult than than I expected. In part 4 I replaced the right hip servo which was indeed damaged.
In Part 5 - Houston We Have A Problem - caused by my not turning off the power after a final test
In this Part 6 - I discover that the other left leg servo is trashed, and realise that it would be better to replace all 4 servos and to make all of them much more secure than in the original videos as slippage can cause damage if the servo is facing in the wrong direction when it activates. So I needed to find and test two more servos to replace the broken Left Leg and the
flaky only left hip, given that three other servos had died
In Part 7 - I improve the servo insertion process on the ankles and hips by re-inventing the servos fastening mechanisms led to the Part 5 damage.
I always advise people to watch the entire video series if they wish to copy (at their own risk) what I have done, but in this case its crucial you do or I can almost guarantee you will make the same mistakes I did, or worse and as I have the tools and resources to correct things you may be left with a Cubee you broke. Simple Don't skip through this video series if you have a Cubee.

that this quick and easy servo exchange repair job needs a more methodical and sturdy rebuild on all of its servos.
