I Was Talking To Dave S., The Man Who Made Loki.

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.

@Dave congrats I watched one of your fights , the first one between your team and steel cyclone , congrats . crash reminds me of a vw bug dune buggy. You should get a vintage VW bus emblem and zip tie it to crashes chest!;)

DAVE did make a change to LOKI he added arduino now,so should be able to use EZB 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

Dynamixel servos can still be used with ezb they just have a feedback feature built into each ax12 and similar model ,, they are more complicated than a standard servo as they have a data bus because feedback must be factored in but he most certainly could use them. Advanced Arduino user utilize them to minimize the amount of sensors to detect a collision or resistance in manipulation.

HE is using serial to control it

.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
