Hi I'm new here. I have been working with Arduino's for a while now. I have a full scale replica R2D2 I built. Its mainly controlled via RC but I have been adding autonomous functions. It appears that EZ-robot is the answer or best way to go a bought this. But I have a few quick questions:
1). Can 2 EZ-B4 boards talk to each other via WIFI 2). Can 2 EZ-B4 boards talk to each other via Serial 3). What is the expansion port for?
If you'd like to see a short video of my project so far:

this is about setting up an external speaker..
There isn't a MIC built into the ezb. What you see with the voice recognition is the PC or phone doing this, so yes, it can be external.
Thanks for the interest in my B9 @Slee The Sloth. I'll insert a few links below to most of the work I've done with regards to building it and fitting EZB into it.
d.cochran's link to the way to break out sound to an external amp will lead you to the work I did when I wanted to do just this. It has pictures of where to attach and even a video of how it turned out. It's amazing what high quality sound you can produce. It seems only limited by the quality of your sound files and your sound system.system. I see the link d.cochran provided is not hyper so feel free to click on this:

Here's a link to my B9 project thread here on this forum and a couple others you may be interested in:

Again, thanks for the interest. Please return and share any progress you make and let us know if you have any questions or need help. Seems to be lots of folks willing to lend a hand.

on the mic, I am going to try to use multiple Kinects from xbox 360's and usb over cat 6 devices to add multiple mics through the house. I will then mix these mic's for the final feed into my pc. I don't know if this will work or not but it will be a fun project.
So I was thinking, This is usually gets me in trouble and I seem to do that a lot, but.... When using the mobile app, can you have more then one screen? You know how a cell phone app slides?
From what I have seen DJ demo on a video on this site, you can use either the screen you design for your mobile app, or switch to the ARC interface on your phone in the app. I have no experience with this because I use a windows phone.
From experience id advise against multiple mics around the home. I tried that with Jarvis and the results were very poor. I spent more trying that method than a decent wireless mic costs.
The mic needs to be on the person speaking ideally. It also needs isolation i.e. when not being used it wants to stop listening otherwise you get a lot of false commands. Jarvis used to talk to himself a lot!
