I want to try and reduce network overhead and resources (if...

Mini Servos

Hello to All, I am in the need of 4 mini servos like the ones used in JD’s neck.

I have tried to get them online but when I ask for confirmation of them having the C1 spline, I never get an...

Unresolved Forum Threads Question

I am now continually getting "nagged" to post that my forum thread "Flaky serial link with v4" has been resolved when it has not. Some things are probably not resolvable and the fact that DJ and Jeramie have never come back with a solution maybe confirms that the serial link can be flakey? I think its pretty poor to have to...

Run A Script Using Speech Recognition Or Visual Tracking While In The Android Ap

Hello, I wrote a few small scripts that require voice commands and visual tracking. Is it possible to run these while using the Android app? When I select the Tracking and Speech Recognition in Desktop view it says both are not currently available. But I'm wondering if there's another way to it. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks,

Ezrobot At Brookestone

Just wanted to say how cool it was to walk into the Brookstone here at our local mall today and see some EZrobot parts on a shelf, so of course had to buy a couple of items. Sadly I noticed that there was no robot out on display. The only robot that they did have in stock was that six legged guy. I'm also hoping that Brookstone will eventually...
