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.

Yee Hawwww ! SUCCESS ! I just finished the rewiring job on my RS V2 and he works. Well, he goes through his wake up routine (self diagnostic) and that's a good sign. I had to replace a 4 pin JST power plug in that harness to correct an intermittent open but, after that he worked fine. I'm taking a break before I start reassembly.
However, those little tiny, itty bitty, teensy weensy connectors are a pain in the rear. I'm glad I bought more than I needed because I ruined a few before I got them all wired up and stuffed into the connector. I used a pair of magnifying glasses to see the little things and was wishing I had spent the money on the somewhat expensive (compared to the job) crimpers that make the job easy (supposedly). Oh well, jobs done. I just hope it stays that way now.

haha great job well done.last test.boot robot go thru all moves and demo and feel regular on the batt compartments. whit your hands.yyeeeeeeeeeeee hawwwwwwwwwwww
Thanks Nomad. I feel pretty good about the V2 project. I checked the battery compartments for heat and found normal temp ...no heat. I'll put most of his body together and do another test before completing assembly. What did James Brown say in the song ...."I feeeeel good ...like I knew I would" ....so good, so good, I got V2.
Well, he said something like that.

hahahahaha your now officely v2 pro repair specialist.
Glad to hear you got your V2 wired. My V1 is still opened up waiting for some soldering love. I've just been distracted from it.
antron007.the blue board ? when its done can you place a pic here .good for avery one.
Thanks guys but, the joy was short lived. Once I buttoned him up and started testing the wire bundle for the right leg pulled out of the 7 pin connector. Evidently, I didn't have enough play in the harness to allow full movement so, it put strain on the wires. I think I'm going to start over with a new harness and use better wire. The stuff I was using is too stiff. It's the right diameter but, the strands are too stiff.
I'll keep you posted on my re-work.
Well, momentary joy is better than none I guess.

wooha.yeach keep going.
