Ok this is just to kick around ideas but what if you could buy a ready to go kit to trick out your EZB V3? I have a few ideas myself but I want feedback
1.-Built in wifi 2.4 ghz option for long range / networking
2.-a plexiglass case consisting of a base 1/4" plexi, standoffs and 1/4" plexi cover to protect ezb and wiring
3.-a servo wire loom organizer , somthing simple to clean up wiring
4.-lighting in the baseplate of plexi surrounding ezb in a square halo of blue (or other) light
5.-a 2200mah or 5000mah lipo battery to power ezb and servos instead of AA batteries , complete with Y harness for easy charging or rigging your externsl charger
6.-a high current 6v power board for high torque servos that easily connects to the case as a module. Get the full potential of a servo at 6v high current rather than 5v and lower current.
7.-a small fan probably a slimline and QUIET 6v or 12v to keep air running accross the heat sinks built into the EZB Pro mounting plate for a cool and happy EZB
8.-ability to add on a small Darlington Transistor board to operate high current items like LED arrays , Bright lights , relays, ect and mount to either side of the EZB pro case or mounted separate. This would have between 4 and 8 transistors for turning items on.
9.- Reset Switch - to easily power EZB on or off to pair or just kill the power other than pulling connections loose.
10.- Status lcd maybe? Ive seen them for arduino and they can show many things , like battery level , voltage , the scripts being ran , errors ect.
11.- 2 USB plugs - for powering a camera and other 5v usb electronics
Maybe EZB Pro kit could have like 6 High Torque Servos 240 oz in @6v
EZB pro kit could have the option of getting a l298n 2.5a or 12a Sabertooth included
14.Heavy Duty servo LONG ext cables with thicker gauge wire to support the demands of high Torque servos that can draw 5 to 7 amps each lengths of around 300mm and 500mm assortment.
Not sure where in Wisconsin you live Dave but it seems the whole state is -35F ...Stay warm Dave both outside and inside the house!

wifi ,Josh? or bluetooth?
I rather have wifi lol
Just revisiting this thread , DJ , Alan and the staff implemented most of our suggestions in the EZB V4 , awesome right? , Props guys - Josh
Great minds think alike.
Or, we listen
That's what set's you apart from the rest, you listen and you provide pretty much anything we ask for
One thing that keeps cropping up and I don't think has been sorted is an external power board for 6v servos. Are things like this (and TIP120, Battery Monitors/Voltage Dividers etc.) also part of the revolution/coming soon/planned for future? I have some board prototypes designed (although not built or tested yet) but if these things are coming then I'll hold off on those boards and use EZ-Robot ones. Otherwise I'll throw the board designs and schematics out there for discussion, fine tuning and testing.
