Car Come Alive!

Hey everyone I am doing something but need to know if the ez-robot controller can handle it? I found a PT Cruiser and bought. Well I got It home and saw the robot I built. Then I got the idea to put it in my car. With an extra small tower computer and the ez-robot I was wondering If I could create my on version of the Knight rider car? With some...

Throwing Your Robot's Voice

As the EZ Robot system utilizes the PC as the main horsepower behind the robot, it would be great if the robot's voice came from the robot rather than from my nearby PC. For larger robots, the laptop can be on the robot, but for smaller robots, it not practical. I'd like to know if anyone is using wireless USB or Bluetooth on the robot to...

question

Business Model

Have you ever considered moving toward a loss-leader business model? The theory is, you sell your principle product at a loss and make all your money on peripherals. So for example, if you sold the ez-b for $50 and had a store with 500 items in it (instead of 15) you would foster wide adoption of the platform AND increase profits. Just an idea..

Organizing Components (Completely Newbie Question)

I've got 3 h-bridges and the ez-b wired up and in close proximity to each other. I live in constant fear that I will bump one into the other and short something out. Whats the best way to keep them separated? Is this what a breadboard is for? Is moving a project from a breadboard to a chassis a big deal or can you just pop the breadboard right on...
