Intel Minnow Mother Board

This board looks like it could revolutionize onboard robotics, it is very powerful and almost as small as the EZ-B, and it is an entire Motherboard! The main thing is it is X86 based so you can run Windows on it. I have posted the link below, let me know what you guys think of this board....

When I connect the adapter to the EZ B, the blue light blinks but the red light does not blink.

Ez Robots; What Comes 1St, The Kit Or The Board?

Hi EZ Robots staff, I've got 3 EZB V4's on order.

I'm taking off work a few weeks in December and hope to have my 3 boards here and spend my vacation replaceing the 3 old V3's I have in my robot....

Help On Omni2000 Base.

I placed the tall robot on the Omni2000 base. I was told that if I put it backards, it would be more stable. Well, I did not try it the regular way, only backwards. It does not wobble at all. But, when I say forward, it creeps slowly. When I tell it go in reverse, it takes off like a ruptured duck, or because it is October next month, bat out of...

The neat thing about the SRF05 is the trigger and echo use the same pin (meaning simple 3 wire connection)... I haven't used the EZB before but I have a pre-order in for the Roli kit... So, my question is can (since I have 5 of the SRF05)...

How To Reduce Rad Base Noise?

So looking around I saw a couple of ideas like That sound-proof foam or tinfoil. What I'm wondering is how I can make my rad base's gearboxes quieter for cheap so I can use it to do recon. Any ideas are welcome.
question

Keyboard Input

Had an idea.... With the keyboard being replaced by voice commands and the increasing likelihood of us being able to put a PC on board our bots I was thinking about ways to improve the sensor grid and make it a bit more advanced than the few micro switches and wires we use at present. Are we able to take input in from the keyboard into our ARC...
