I have used Roboduino boards and they have a cable that connects to the USB port to load the IC chip.
Why doesn't EZ-Robot allow the same interface? I am now sitting here with a new toy and can't play with it because there is no interface between it and my computer.
Now I find I need an "Bluetooth Dongle" and I don't see it listed as an item to be purchased from DJ's site.
I searched Maker Shed and Adafruit and couldn't find one. I did fine some listed at SpartFun, questions is which one will I need to make my EZ-Robot function? SparkFun lists the following USB Bluetooth item.
Bluetooth Modem - BlueDongle USB
sku: WRL-08180 RoHS Compliant
Description: This is a simple to use USB Bluetooth? modem. Power is gained over USB and the unit appears as a comm port using the standard FTDI VCP drivers. This device was designed to give the user the maximum amount of flexibility over the connection to remote BlueSMiRF and Bluetooth? wireless devices like the 6DOF v3 and WiTilt products.
Or would I need one of the followig ?
WRL-00158 RoHS Compliant
Bluetooth Modem - BlueSMiRF RP-SMA
WRL-10269 RoHS Compliant
Bluetooth Modem - BlueSMiRF Silver
WRL-10938 RoHS Compliant
Bluetooth Modem - BlueSMiRF HID
Thanks

Resolved it on E-Bay for less than $5.
Note to DJ, you might want to make the dongle an option with the full kit version, it would surly enhance that package.
PS
I am going to need at least another 3 or 4 more of these kits personally, I'm retired and have been working on my Wallee for over two years but was held up until you put together your complete package.
So now I am off to the races and will soon be a happy camper !
