Hovis Eco And Ezb

Can the Hovis Eco be made to work with the EZB? I have been looking at this bot for a while and am really close to getting it but I want to be able to intregrate the ezb with it for personality and a little better servo control.

I just got the back issues in of "Robot" for 2013. In the July/August and Sept/October issues specifically they assembled and made the Hovis Eco work. The didn't really review it but they said it is a great platform and is reliable. So that's good.
Here is the eBay link. I bought the unassembled version since building it I figured I would learn more about it but there is an assembled one available.

Yeah my local place was a little higher as well. And I would have to pay taxes as well as it would take longer to get.
eBay was the winner price wise this time.

do you have more robots ?

Just a robosapien. I had a v2 robosapien years ago. I also bought a wowwee Robome which i returned cause it worked horribly. I also had a Romo robot which I had "programmed" in less than two days so it went back as well. To do any real programming you need a "real" robot. So that's what I am focussed on now.

Rs media would have been cool for sure. I was not impressed with robome.
There new one now that seems cool but still a toy.
