Do You Use Protection?!

I've been looking at a lot of robot projects here and around the net lately and one thing really surprises me. I've yet to see anyone use servo savers on their robot. I'm sure there are people that are, but it seems really uncommon. I don't get why. We use servos in ways that put them under loads way beyond their design, like mounting an entire...

Pretty Cool Controller Project.

I found something today that I thought I'd share with you all here as I'm sure more than one of you might find it useful to integrate into your robot projects. Basically, I guy built a replacement circuit board for the PS3 DualShock controller that uses a zigbee radio instead of Bluetooth, giving it nearly a mile range. You could connect it to your...

Ez-Robot Coming To Calgary Expo This Year?

@DJsures are you planning to attend The Calgary Expo again this year? I hope you do, last year's booth was great and hopefully brought you in a lot of new business. I know that's how I joined the team.

Direction Controls Reversed

Right arrow makes the bot turn to it's left. I'm sure this is a simple, easy fix, but I didn't want to monkey around and guess at...

Ez-B Input Voltage Range?

I can't find this information on the site. DJ Sures, what is the acceptable input voltage range for the EZ-B? I'd love to run it off a gel cell. I noticed that there are 4 and 6 cell AA battery holders shipped with the EZ-B so I assume the voltage is regulated onboard. Can it handle 12V input? Thanks!
