Argument To Settle

I just stumbled onto this today, and after some discussion with my fiancee, we have a argument to settle. Now I understand the new box might be more expensive then the old one, but how much was the old set for EZ-Robot? She believes it was uber-expensive and I don't think so.

As I was updating my list I started to wonder what other folks here wish...

Bluetooth

I'd like to know if the Bluetooth on the EZ board can sense the signal strength and identify the source ? If so, if we use 3 Bluetooh sources we can triangulate the position of the EZ robot, do you think it's possible ?

Best 3D Printer For Robot Design And Build

I see DJ new ez robot lab has at least two different 3d printers: one MakerBot Replicator 2 and one 3D Systems CubeX Trio. Any comment on which 3d printer is best for making robot parts? What software is best for 3d robot part design on a budget of course? This is a hobby after all. Any comments on materials abs or pla etc.?

Multiple Bluetooth Devices And Interference?

Morning All I searched the forums but didn't find an answer. I want to use another Bluetooth device to send two tracks to the sound system in my robot (independent of EZ). Would such transmissions interfere with Bluetooth communication to the EZ Board? Thanks, Daniel
