DID i read the right 300 pounds is $454 ,wow thats a lot

RICH here is a few under $300 his design is called micromouse

micromouse robots

£300 for a 3d print is a good price! My micro board is only £40. My robot can be progremmed how ever you like. Also this is proper robotics! Do any of you guys make your bots from scratch?

Some of us do. We'll borrow motors from a donor bot, flash a CPU or MCU, buy a box of servos, IRs, etc read a data sheet or ebook. Write our own programs run them though a compiler, convert to binary for speed and then discover how robotics can be utilized quicker and integrated into more hardware components by using the EZ-B system.

Nice! Thats cool. Like I said I'm interested in ezb cos its an amazing system. Its easier to make a bot & at the mo I'm getting frustrated with linux! Irrating raspberry pi! No info but just a command prompt. Honestly this day of age. I like raw but Linux is a raw thing all on its own.

Have anyone looked into camera on the ezb?

Voodoo, I suggest you download ARC and run it.

As for your 3D printing experience, we have a big announcement and new ARC software coming out shortly. It contains 3D design components, as well as a CAD design built in. And as usual, the new ARC software will be backward compatible with the existing platform.

Everyone here builds a robot from scratch. Even if it starts as a toy - it's still customized by the individual. There is no reason to program microcontrollers anymore - this is 2013... Even less than a hundred years ago, carpenters stopped chopping down trees to make their own wood. Why do roboticists need to program microcontrollers anymore?

The whole goal is to create a robot... Not re-invent the wheel. That's why EZ-Robot exists.

Stay tuned for our upcoming press release - EZ-Robot is embracing the 3D Printer... and making it even easier to build your dream robot!

I think so many love to program microcontrollers,first is fun,plus it thier own code and not pre program by others.

BUT then there is many non programmers and where the EZB comes in.

One reason one of the biggest robot clubs there is in seattle ,only into programming micro's tried to post about the EZB many times and seen others tell about it,but they still dont like it.

For me i love my EZB more then most of the guys here,but also love building other types of robots using other processors or operating systems.

I have a very long list of all types,but EZB WILL have the most,i have only 20 EZB right now and only takes 30% of my designs so need to buy another 40 to 50 more EZB

I hacking toys for robots ,but built many from scratch.
