-Many of the IVALab robots are constructed from the Dynamixel line of motors, as well as peripheral products (eg. frames), manufactured and sold by [[http://www.robotis.us/ | Robotis]]. The Dynamixel line of products sit in middle of the the spectrum spanning the extremes of cheap hobbyist servos to expensive industrial solutions. Higher-end DC motors (eg. Maxon) are encased in convenient peripherals (eg. encoders, temperature/load sensing, etc.) to produce 'smart servo' motors.
+Many IVALab robots are constructed using Dynamixel motors and compatible products (eg. connecting frames), manufactured and sold by [[http://www.robotis.us/ | Robotis]]. The Dynamixel line of motors sits somewhere between cheaper hobbyist servos and higher-end industrial solutions. They come equipped with several convenient features (eg. encoder position sensing, temperature/load sensing, over-voltage protection, serial communication, etc.).
-A stream-lined process and set of hardware has been set-up to facilitate greater convenience when using Dynamixel motors:
+===== Walk-Throughs =====
+A stream-lined hardware configuration and API have been set-up to operate the motors:
