Controlling Multiple Robots With One Instance Of ARC?

Under the tutorial for the Movement Panel I noticed that while ARC can control multiple EZ-B's, it can only control one Movement Panel at a time. Is there a way to work around this to control two separate robots with one instance of ARC? I'm putting the finishing touches on my first robot now and thinking about picking up another kit for a second robot.

There is no work-around because movement commands are very specific. For example "Forward()" or "Left()" is a generic commands that controls a movement panel. If you would like two robots controlled at once, you can run two instances of ARC.

Can two instances run from one pc dj? Would i need to add a second bluetooth module? With a asus ion atom 1.6 ghz with 2 gig ram capable of that? Thanks just doing realistic planning.

You can run up to 64 instances of ARC. You do not need a second bluetooth module
