This helps out a lot! Thanks Alan!

To be honest, Ez-B, products do their own advertizing. I stumble upon ez-b while browsing youtube, and saw DJ omnibot video.I am pretty sure once a majority of the community have their hands on the V4, more traffic will be directed towards our forums. It is our job to educate the general public, we need to showcase our projects more on letsmakerobots.com, instructables.com and hackaday.com . I have the arduino, beagle bone, raspberry pie, each have their soul purpose, but EZ-B is Def better bang for the buck.

Type this on a rush from my cell, will revise when at pc.

I agree with you and that's my intent! That is, to increase the likelyhood of people "stumbling upon" the EZ-B. It sells itself with all the features it has. I think I first learned of EZ-Robot while googling something that a coworker showed me. I think it was called "IOIO". That led to me finding the other boards and then the EZ-B. After a bit of scanning the features, I went with EZ-Robot. It can't be beat; even the early versions were better simply because of ARC is so versatile. So yeah, we need to showcase the robot as well as post a good descriptions that allows it to be searched and found. (Yes.... I'm a hypocrite.... blush)

As you all know, the EZ-B isn't a hard sale. I have told exactly 3 people about this so far. All of them have jumped onto this website and have been asking me a ton of questions. Once my wall-e is done, I will be posting on youtube for sure. This is just one video that I will be posting. The others will be of a group of students working with the EZ-B platform. I think this will drive even more people to the site. Additionally, I will be demonstrating the platform to about 300 people in August. This will be an attempt to drum up interest in a schools robotics program, but it will also give an Oklahoma City suburb its first look at EZ-B. My hope is that once the program is in place, the news media in this city will become involved, showing the robotics program starting in the 3rd grade and going through 12th grade. Not only will it help the public's image of the school, but also robotics and more importantly, EZ-Robot.

The projects that we will be working on will be chosen specifically to gain this attention. For example, the InMoov project using EZ-B instead of arduino and the Jimmy project using EZ-B instead of Intel will be chosen to leverage off of the publicity that these projects already have or are going to have. Of course, videos of this will be posted on youtube with tag lines directed toward education programs and EZ-B.

I have stolen an statement or two from a presentation that DJ made talking about what the Steve's did to computers and people seem to then understand. "The Steve's didn't make computers, they already existed. They made computers easy to use with the Mac." EZ-Robot is doing the same thing thanks to not only the smart people at EZ-Robot, but the community. People get that really clearly and it seems to set in at that point. When I started with computers, they didnt have floppy drives or hard drives. CD-ROMs, DVDs, thumb drives, forget it. You got a magazine and tried to make a piece of shotty code in the magazine work, which they never did. I was in the 3rd grade. Saving this code was a luxury if you had a casset player and the right cable to connect. Now, a 3 year old can play a game using a tablet because the interface to the technology has been simplified. This is what EZ-Robot is about to me. It is an amazing step toward making robotics available to all, and not just those that are willing to learn how to program.
