Has anyone found a way to work around the limitations of the EZB V4 with the Roboquad or any robosapien? Its sad that the support was dropped with the EZB V4. I was pumped to make an uber intelligent wifi based Roboquad - but will not work.

[X] Close Control

To accomplish this, I first listed minimum capabilities...

I try to make a few intercative videos and I use the language output. When I go to the language output window, you can not mark the text. I must first mark it with ctr + a which is a little annoying. It would be...

Can you help me get my robot to hear? I need some help. I have done (read before posting) and am still having problems with my ezb speech recognition plugin on my Robot.
