4 Wd Roli

Hi Everyone I was wondering if anyone knew where to buy two extra motors and gearboxes for the Roli Rover as they are not sold in store (except as part of the roli body kit which is therefore expensive)? With extra motors and the gears it would be easy to turn Roli into a 4 WD vehicle that can carry extra weight. I checked this link but it does not...

Johnny Five Community Project

Hello, I brought this up under Jeremies thread originally; I think it would be neat to do a community J5 project. Im interested in building a smaller scale (1-2ft tall) J5 themed robot with as much function and appearance as possible. Im not focused on a 100% screen accurate version as a must have goal.

One of the things I love about the Arduino is that it’s easy to find a code snippet from someone’s project that you can reuse by cutting and pasting. What is the best way to do this in the ARC environment? Can one copy controls from one project to the next or just the scripts them self’s? It would be awesome for instance to take a fully configured...

I am trying to see if it would be beneficial to just have all ez robot equipment in my robot instead of raspberry pi recording as the pi is only recording 7-10 frames at 800x600 at best. So maybe the newer 20fps...

To turn the fortune teller on, we have to open the cabinet, start the computer, go to EZ builder, make the connection, etc. then lock it up again. Few know...
