Few More Ezb4 Power Details

Just an FYI (probably doesn't really warrant a thread of it's own, but)... The EZB4 draws about 80mA idle (connected to the network and ARC, with no peripherals attached)... With the Camera plugged in (again @ idle) it is drawing about 180mA... Cheers

Rss Feeds

@MovieMaker mentioned he wanted more RSS Feeds in the AI topic earlier and listed out a few so... Here is a project with a single Script Manager (renamed as RSS Reader so you can import in to your project via the merge button - I suspect you don't already have a command called RSS Reader). I'm still working on it, I need to find some better RSS...

Greetings From Europe!

Hi EZ-Robot community, Just wanted to take the time to say hi from Europe and let you know that Im spreading the EZ-Robot Revolution world wide! Having more EZ-Robots in more peoples hands will bring new and exciting ideas and challenges for us to conquer together here in this forums. I hope youve all polished up your foreign language skills ;-)...
