Sorry, didn't pick up on the IR part... but yes, hoping DJ gets it included in a future release...

ez-bits. gyro, accelerometer, gps, mini digital screens

A lot of people want GPS, but since EZB needs to be coupled to a PC, GPS is limited unless you have a PC on board your bot or a seriously powerful wifi network...

A lot of people will be disappointed in GPS, it's not the most accurate of things unless you spend a small fortune on it. At best you'll be within a meter or so, at worst you could be 10 or 20 meters away. I'd hate for my robot to get lost or wander in to a river/road because the GPS thought it was somewhere else

I agree Rich... it's just not accurate enough for "short distant" bots... Long distance it's great, but again there is still the network range issue... For now I am using wheel encoders for position and mapping... Since I am not the best programmer out there, it is still limited to me. I do hope DJ gets his indoor navigation idea up and running...

Hehehe, I can't say who's right - but there is a winning guess in there somewhere. There's actually two winning guesses... because there are two pretty big things coming. One is being released before the other. We are in testing mode for it right now - the next step will be a beta implementation. There will require some additions to our cloud service as well.

What a tease! but you already said you were a secret junkie! does it start with the letter I ? These updates and your new employee are great distractions while waiting for the V4!

As big of a tease it may be just look at how awesome the last surprise/secret announcement was (Revolution).
