yes,there is no usb port on EZB,ITS a microcontroller does not having a operating system like windows installed, other way you can do it is buy a bluetooth webcam or wifi,problem is using a webcam it needs windows drivers installed
on bluetooth or WIFI it transmitt signal to a computer with drivers installed on a operating system and you see it on your PC the video
there is the ROBOBOARD can can install windows or rabbit board,both are small,but like all boards you need memory stick or hard drive,there is a tiny LINUX BOARD ALSO
there another way but very hard to hack a USB webcam and find the TTL PORT going to the USB chip and tie a bluetooth transmitter to it,never tried it but might work
@JSTARNE is not the bluetooth that EZ robot sells
lot of my robot designs use a itx-board ,but smaller robots need a bluetooth like in DJ wall-e project
problem with that is only one robot can be used at a time,ebay has nice itx board 2gig 1.6 ghz for under $50
also LEAF software does have robochat,where the robots can talk to each other about us
second LEAF can control ROVIO robot and if you add roborealm software to there are others to control
and soon EZB,plus control it from any place in the world
just way to much to list here,will take a page or 2
It appears that both of these run off the ATX 4-pin 12V Aux power supply connection alone... But Dell is notorious for using what look like Standard ATX power connections in non-standard ways.. So I'd grab an original power supply for $15 to verify yourself with volt meter.
need a small itx computer board with usb inputs running EZB software if a smaller design robot ?
is that the only way???

@jstarne1, what OS will you run on that miniITX? Are you planning on XP? With a solid state drive, they could be very useful!
thats what i do for most of my robots. ,SSD is better because of low power,cant really get damaged. and lower weight
