Many of us are using the ACER w3 810 Windows 8.1 tablet for controlling our EZ-B robots. I just noticed that Woot has the 32 gb model on sale for $119 (factory reconditioned) which is a pretty good price. You can get lucky on eBay and get it for less, but this is a good deal for a guaranteed and warranted device.
Wow dude I might have to get one
Wow, they are still over £200 here, which is over $300! At that price it may be worth shipping all the way over here and paying the import duty and tax!..
Ok dude I did it! Something goes wrong I will gripe here lol I received the "welcome" email and these guys have a sense of humor.
If you receive your item and it doesn't work, contact the manufacturer first. They made the junk. Let them deal with it. If they turn out to be total tools, contact support@woot.com and we'll grudgingly provide some further assistance.
If you receive your item and decide you don't like it, hold a garage sale or pawn it off on one of your so-called friends. We don't want it, either.
@rich , I would get one and send it to you as "gift" if that would save you the import duties and stuff. I have heard they are high
Re: humor. Yeah, they were started with the guy who just this week started meh.com which just sells one item a day, and pretty much tells you it is total crap before you buy it or it wouldn't be available for his site.
woot is now actually a subsidiary of Amazon and is used to move leftover and closeout merchandise, but they tried to keep the humor and feel of the original site.

I already have a W3 which is why I know they are expensive over here, although having a few is tempting. I have people I could call on if I needed something from over there, however even sending as a gift doesn't stop HMRC (the tax man) from adding some stupidly high charges on, then the shipping company adding a bit for themselves too.
To be honest my W3 has been sat on my table for months unused, or barely used. I don't think I need another. Although there is quite a profit to be made there if someone did ship them over and sell them on over here.
thetechguru, I just purchased one! I have been looking and wanting 1 for some time. When I ordered, it took my Amazon account. It is worth giving it a try, that's how I found EZ Robot, with great results. Thanks for posting. Steve S
@Anthony... With all due respect.... One person having a battery problem does not make issue"s" it makes one issue... Mine works flawlessly.... Do you know of anyone else having battery problems?
