ARC Project Autosave

I have been working on debugging scripts for my robot lately and occassionally end up hanging up ARC. I may just be too impatient not waiting for it to come back, but I have needed to occasionally kill it with the task manager. Unfortunately this does not give me and opportunity to save my work.

Command I'm trying to send is:...

Recommendations For 12 Volt Rechargeable Battery

Would anyone care to recommend a 12 volt rechargeable battery system? I plan on using at least two: one to power a 12 volt Dewert and actuator and another to power two 12 volt actuators and a 12 volt servo. The load will be quite low (no locomotion). The systems will be controlled by two separate EZ boards. Thanks, Daniel

Ez-B Versus Arduino

This maybe a taboo subject but I'm trying to make a case for purchasing EZ-B instead of the Arduino for a small scale childrens introduction to robotics.
