Will I Have Trouble Mixing The V3 And V4 Ezb's?

If I use these two together on one project, will I have trouble with having one wi-fi and the other Bluetooth. What would you suggest? Put the slower items on the bluetooth and the faster items on the wifi. Will it have an amplified or nonamplified audio jack to plug speakers into? Thanks,

Ic2 Gps For Robot

I have been thinking about adding on board navigation to my robot. I think a compass is the first step and there is a good tutorial and suggest part for that, but the other part of the equation is a GPS reciever and connecting one to the EZ-B seems to be an area of concern.

Speech Recognition Files

I've been using a laptop with Vista Home and EZ-Robot for 18 months or more now and the voice recognition is accurate and stable. As EZ-RObot moves away from Vista I am of course wanting to upgrade to Win8 but am not keen to have to retrain voice.... Anyone come across a way to migrate the voice recognition files?
