@toymaker can you add the IR string code if you have it,downside i see if you cant is if you lose your remote or your robot doesn't have it,lot of use get robots cheap without remotes.
CANT wait till you get it done,right now i have a total of 20+ of wowwee robots and more on they way and hope to test them.

I am @ the campground, with poor signal, but I can tell you i am interested in the EZ robot two, with artificial intelligence, home control, and location Parameters. I am excited about having these possibilities!
I Am very happy with easy robot and all the advancements.
My family loves my Ez Robot Capt. Ann Droid. My family cannot believe the advancement with easy robot since 25 years ago When I built my robot, James with the Commodore 64.

@toymaker
i know the receiver TM13U for X10 system i have 6 one for each room,set at different codes for each room
Second i use IR to RF controller tied to my IR repeaters so only one IR signal is needed to control up tp 256 codes
ON using a receiver in learn mode,what happens if you lose you remote or broken
without entering a RAW code you cant control any devices,every IR transmitter puts a RAW CODE
Other big problem a lot of us buy robots like wowwee or other robots that use IR and since we get them cheap a lot of them dont have a remote,but on the internet there is always someone hack the code or has a remote and a learning remote like USB-UIRT and with software can copy and paste the code in any microcontroller that you can add the IR STRING.
Thank You Tony,
Here are few pictures of "James", my 25 year + old Commmodore 64 powered robot.
He still operates, but the VR is very crude because of the limited sample rates available on such a small computer without a hard drive. He can load a file by voice (shake my hand) from floppy disk and automatically execute it. I wrote his programming in BASIC. He could also learn steps (routines) using the joystick as a teach pendant, similar to the recorder in ARC. His talking voice was mine, recorded with a CoVox voice system. I use to demonstrate him @ schools and Caterpillar. He only had six outputs, which I increased to 9 with relay logic.
I purchased an EZB for him, maybe some day he will get an update?

Steve thats a great robot! I recognise 2 Big Trak gearboxes with mag clutch so this robot went forward without much drifting left or right. My toy invention company has designed the next generation Big Trak XTR (eXtra Technology Robotic).
Very clever arm mechanism that can move vertically like that. Your robot should be put up on Cyberneticzoo as it is a neat robot from the last century, a couple of mine are on there.

@toymaker I hope to see also your object recognition,i am working on another type of design using spectrometer design
Design works great,low cost i have it working on arduino next step convert the codes to ezb
DJ gave info on how to do it and another way is using serial to the arduino board.
But its only good for liquids,cans cant work and only glass.
On object recognition its hard to tell what type of beer or drink if turned the other.
Another i see with object recognition is with your design and mine is if bottle is in the back of the refrigerator that you want.
Thinking other ideas for this ,may be x-ray scanner or type of sonar like ultrasound used in hospitals.
Ultrasound is hard mostly its very high frequency 1ghz and it wont go through metal.
Look all ideas has its faults,and may need all of them.
Love to hear your thoughts on this.

Steve, your robot looks really good! Have you any pictures of the Commodore 64 robot, it would be great to see it.

I remember when i made TRS-80 robot ,while back and another one with 8mhz processor cant remember the cpu name. But in storage i should have the it.
The robot frame i have a EZB on it,i think its over 20 years old and was a kit.
