Alternative To Speech Recognition As A Fail Safe Method

I am looking to use JD as an assistant in a comedy show I am doing for children. I know the children can create a lot of noise. Therefore I need to find the best fallback if speech recognition does not work. Is a keyboard shortcut the best alternative?

Servo Recorder Control

The servo recorder is great but only seems to playback any servos only connected to Board 0. I can record from Board 1 using the servo pad control ( it shows data) but it won't playback the recordings of those servos connected to Board 1 or any other board (1-4). Am I missing anything obvious or is the servo recorded control only for board 0? I am...

question

Servo Control Voltage

I don't have a scope to verify this but would I be correct in assuming that the servo control voltage going to the servo is 3.3 volts on any particular digital port that a servo is connected to on an EZ Controller? The power to the servo would be the battery voltage that the EZ Controller is powered up from which is typically 7.2 Volts? Thanks...

Ez-B And Arduino Shield

After upgrading and swapping to the newer EZ-B board, it would be a shame not to use it with another robot. any consideration to building an Arduino Shield to accommodate the EZ-B? It would be overkill to add an EZ-B to an Arduino, but the potential would open up a wider market and audience. Perhaps the addition of an Arduino Library as well?...
