Hi friends Browsing around the instructables site I found this kid in Indonesia! His version of wal-e made of junk really impressed me.

Specially because all the electronics are taken from old toys! I wrote him asking if he have heard about EZ-b. He said yes, but unfortunately have no money to buy one. So, I was wandering, with that kind of talent, what this kid would be able to do with an Ez-b in hands.. So, here is my proposition. Why don't we send him a board as a gift?! Mabe we could find 20 members that could contribute with, let's say, 15 dollars, and we could send him that? What you guys think? And, DJ, do you think the shop would be able to manage contributions and send him the kit? Just an idea... Greetings from Brazil!

#Nomad, Thankyou,
#Alan, the money you transfer to my paypal already up as well and I've pulled it into my bank account, thank you.

I am surprised to see that shipping from Canada and not China. I guess EZ-Robot got some stock sent to their headquarters.

The developer kit we sent you includes an 2 amp H-bridge that can drive two DC motors, so for the drive wheels, you should not need to do any conversion unless they are larger than 2 amp motors. Other joints (arms, neck, etc..) should probably be converted to servos. The kit includes four heavy duty servos and two continuous rotation servos, so depending on the weight of the parts, you may be able to just swap out the motors for the included servos.

Great job and thanks for sharing.
