Ideas For Robots In Schools

I have been thinking about @DJ focus on schools and robots in education. The obvious benefit is kids learn about robotics but this is a change in curriculum for schools so is a hard sell. I was wondering if there is benefit in focusing on how robots can help with existing curriculum. The idea of JD as a teachers assistant I think would resonate...

Avast Not Allowing Connection To Ez-B V4

Configured the v4 in client mode, it connected to my network, its pingable and I can access the v4 Wi-Fi Robot Controller web page from the desktop. The problem came up when trying to connect to the v4 from builder. Tried the scan, the v4 chirped when the address was hit, but would not display the address for selection. The forums mentioned AVAST...

App With A Database

Can I create an app that is connected with a database and has additional features besides controlling the JD Humanoid? One more thing, can I use Xcode to create an iOS app that controls JD Humanoid directly instead of downloading the ez robot builder app?

Broken Jd Shoulder

One of my wonderful students drove their JD off the desk and broke the shoulder joint. Is there a 3D model available to print? If not I am happy to develop an .stl file based on the EZ Clip female file.
question

Left Shoulder

I have tried all the debugging and trouble shooting videos and can not get the left shoulder to move at all. When the robot is off you can turn it but when I turn it on it is stuck in place. This is a new out the box robot. I even connected it to another servo port to see if I could get that to move. Is is possible that it is just broken? What...
question

Distance Sensor

I have a linear actuator to control how tall my Tin Man robot will be. The problem is that even though I can control the actuator with the Ezb I wonder if I can control the location of the actuator with a sonic distance sensor. It's accuracy is 2cm (3/4") to 450cm (177"). If it would work I am planning on attaching sensor on the underside...
