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.

am not familiar whit it.hope its the good one. one thing i wanna say.if the robot is complete rewired.before power up ,turn robot all the way left and right, feel if you feel resitants off the new wires.if not power up.
Another good tip. Thanks again.
I hope it's the correct one too. I'll find out tomorrow.
I got a hint from this web site .... https://mymanthemaker.blogspot.com/2013/04/robosapien-v2-wire-rot.html. The author mentioned that it was Dupont connector so, I traced it using that maker name via web searches and found them on the Molex site. They have other pitch spacing as well so, if this isn't the correct one I'll try the 2.54mm and see if it will work. I'm very hopeful about the 2mm as my own measurements, which are not exactly precise, are very close to that spacing. I really want to make this robot work again. If not, I'll find another one and start over. After changing the connector with a new one, I hope the short circuit in the "brain" power circuit is repaired. If not, then I'm afraid I have a bad component on the board.

i know only the jst connectors.but its a good find cause the connectors thats comming from batt to the motorboard, are indeed weither . i bout also a another v2 and seller said he's perfect in working condition.but no as always.
Nomad, Yep, every thing I've read and seen says they ALL have bad wiring. So, any claims of perfect working condition will soon not be true if indeed they are telling the truth.
I've been following prices on ebay for just a few days now but, it seems the prices of V2 are going up. Maybe more people are repairing them now or maybe collectors are beginning to trade? Given the fact that they all have the wiring problem, I would not pay a high price for one.
I believe Molex will have all of the connectors we need to replace the bad ones in the RS v2. Actually, we only need new "pins" if we are careful with the "housings" when we take them apart. It's good to know they are available at such a good price.

the biggest problem is there are no circuitboards and on/off switches to get .these are the most broken parts. i bouth some 50 robots ,and all had some kind off bad part.no v2 is worth more then 60 dollar.not even in the box new. also in box have same wiring problem.and they know that if i by a v2 i cant send it back cause i need to pay chipping, to send it back.whits nobody does cause it cost you double.if you have 1 good v2 thats more then enouch. its not worth anymore to by more v2.for that money you can make your own up to date robot here on ez.
I certainly agree with that. You bought 50? Wow, that's a lot of robots. Do you have a few cleaning your house and washing dishes by now?
I am still in a buying mood but, must resist. There are many RS v1 on the market but, I have one and that's all I need for now. I really want a Wall E and that will likely be on of my projects. I want to get the V2 working and hack into it with an EZb and get it doing amazing things. I have a few ideas to try out on the RS 1 with a goal of implementing on an R2 later. I'd like to change the battery config. from alkaline to lithium for longer life and less weight ...although, I might have to add weight to help him balance with the lighter battery. I'm anxious to see if my new connectors will fit the V2. Hope I can sleep well tonight.

i wich haha. you can excample an rsm in skype.
I'm happy to report that I have found the correct 7 pin connector for the right side leg/foot connections. It can be found on the Molex web site here ....https://www.molex.com/molex/products/datasheet.jsp?part=active/0510650700_CRIMP_HOUSINGS.xml Don't forget to order the correct crimp pins/connectors listed on the page. Just click the p/n and it will take you to the page for the connectors. Whew, now I can finish my RS V2 rewire job.
