Hallo
I wonder whether there is someone with first-hand expirience with both EZ and Fischertechnik ROBO TXT image recognition. Can you compare these two, their quality and width of options? I know there are other differences between those kits (like EZ can connect way more motors), but I would like to focus just on image recognition.
Thanks.

On a more serious note... If you're considering a focus on vision recognition, I would recommend coupling RoboRealm with ezrobot. However, I recommend starting with ezrobot to get your feet wet. You can download the software for free immediately.
What hammer would you use?
A toy...
Or ezrobot...
Anyway thank you DJ for pointing me to RoboRealm, I will take a look at it, though it seems to be too advanced for me now.
I would recommend comparing the list of features to the two kits. Again, it won't be easy to compare because Fischertechnik is a toy and does not contain any visual recognition capabilities.
Get the list of features of Fischertechnik that are promoted on the website. Compare them against the list of features promoted on the selected ez-robot product.
I doubt anyone on ez-robot's website would use the Fischertechnik product because it doesn't do very much. I would consider Lego Mindstorms a viable comparison to Fischertechnik.
Go EZ, go the right way!
This is marketing!
LOL
Here is my recommendation to you...
Download ARC to your computer. If you have a camera on your computer, you should quickly be able to test out the vision capabilities of ARC without costing you a dime. If it does what you want it to do, you have solved the issue without spending a dime.
If you want this in a robot type device, you can use the EZ-B and the camera and have a lot of abilities and room for growth. ARC doesn't need the EZ-B to work. I made quite a few projects prior to ever owning an EZ-B. Now I have about 10 of the EZ-B V4's.
Also, I would like to say that DJ is very involved in the community. This is huge with technology type companies. If the CEO isn't closely involved with the community, I wouldn't mess with it much. He listens to issues and makes adjustments made based on recommendations or issues.
