I'm a complete rookie when it comes to robotics but, I'm willing to learn. I'm about to find out if an "old dog" can learn new tricks. 
I'm fully retired for about 6 yrs now and loving it. I have experience with RC airplanes, helicopters, and a few cars and digitally controlled model trains. I know a bit about the hardware of computers but, the software boggles my mind and that's why I'm so excited about E-Z Robot. It appears that Mr. Sures has taken the hard part out of the programming by providing an easy to use programming suite.
I'm really excited about the mods/hacks associated with "toy" robots and plan to easy. Since Mr. Sures has done all of the hard work for us, I'm looking very strongly into the Wow Wee selection of bots. I follow instructions pretty well and the tutorial videos I've watched make it look pretty darned simple.
I'm looking forward to learing from this group and I hope you will all forgive my occasional dumb question.

I'm retired too, started a Roomba robot repair service, welcome to the group. You're gonna have fun in this forum.
Hi rowdyjoe! Welcome to the world of robots! Your in for a fun and rewarding ride. I'm not retired but am in the home stretch. If I keep building robots like I want to do I may never retire. I need to finance my dreams somehow.
There's no such thing as dumb questions, only dumb answers. I've been know to give a few dumb ones but there are lots of people here that will keep me honest so no need to fear taking advice when you have asked.
Keep us updated on your project and post it in the project show case. We love pics and vids!
Thanks fellas. I'm watching an RS V1 on ebay right now but, it's without remote. If I can get it cheap enough I'll pull the trigger. If I start having as much fun with this as I think I will, I'll have to get a (gag) job. Ugh!

Yeeee Hawwwww ! I snagged a V1 from ebay for a very good price (sans remote). Now, I need to dig up some change to buy the EZb, etc.
I'd like to outfit him with the camera and radar if possible. I'd also like to enlarge his vocabulary if possible. This is going to be FUN!

Their so cute when their at this age.
Welcome to the community.
As Dave (@dschupius) said, there are no stupid questions so feel free to ask absolutely anything, nobody will ridicule you, we all start somewhere
With the EZ-B V4 you can add any voice/sounds to your Robosapien since it has an on board MP3 trigger and speaker. It can also control the Robosapien with a single port (however only send remote commands but it's enough to move him).
hi rowdyjoe.to bad you live so far.i got 9x v1. i give you one for free.
Welcome aboard for a wonderful ride.
:)
