D.J., I was talking to Dave S., the man who made Loki. And, he is JUST now considering buying an EZB Kit. He told me that he always thought that your kit was ONLY for toys. We have to find a way to let people know that it is not only for toys,but for REAL robots of almost ANY size. There is a trend already starting (ie; the risers) to have Larger and Larger robots. People are afraid of them less now, I guess. But, I like robots from 3-6 feet tall. Many other people feel the same way. So, let people know about this. I see no reason why your product could not be used in larger robots. In fact, maybe it would take more than one at a time. Think about it.
Hope that this helped.

I've seen loki before, he's pretty cool! Someone shared him on here, might have been MovieMaker. I'd love to see EZ-Robot in Loki
Guess what? I know that you have THOUGHT about LEAF. Thomas M. has made an EZ-LEAF. He should publish his docs about NOVEMBER 1st. Isn't that wonderful? Now you can have Loki, Leaf, AND the EZB all working together to give you MORE A.I.

I'm definitely interested in EZ! I just ordered a board so I can start experimenting with it.
After looking briefly at this website, I did not see any example code for using EZ with C++.
Are there examples around? (I did not look very thoroughly)
If not, maybe I can put some together and share for those that want to go the C++ route. :-)
So many ideas, so little spare time! :-(
There are what seems to be a MILLION or more tutorials on almost every subject as well as the Videos. Just look around. If you are thinking it should be here, it probably is.
This community would love to see your Examples.
Good Luck!

Fred from seattle robotics group,i built your SEEKER ROBOT with a few changes and getting parts to build your fantastic LOKI robot
You are going to build Loki? That is Fantastic. He is my all-time favorite. Add a little Leaf to him and an EZB and we have got it all working. He is just the coolest robot EVER.
have you gotten a notice that your QBO kit has been shipped? or a delay. It is suppose to be shipped the 3rd Quarter. October would be late.
Keep us informed on how that goes.

dave shinsel LOKI and robots
it has the code and parts info on building it and other robots
only problem i see it that it uses KINECT witch EZB doesnt have yet ,plus dynamixel servos
BUT the rest should be easy to port to EZB
.Programable serial communication from 2400 to 1Mpbs and needs a usb dynamixel hub
NOT on using EZB it can be done using high torque servo's
ONE item i see the EZB lacks is bi-directional serial,it has transmitt on DO pin only
and the other is for bluetooth or wifi
