Multi Board Support For Robosapien?
Is Robosapien only capable of working on board 0? Trying to add him to my multi-robot fleet but it doesn't look like I can use any other board #'s to run him? It will be a bugger to switch/re-program the current robot on board 0 so I can make him work. DJ thoughts?

Robotic Face
DJ, I recall seeing a post with a newer low cost acrylic cut robotic face/head. Maybe a Dagu product? Were you going to be offering those soon? The RoboticsSquared versions are nice, just pricey.

3D Printer By Michael Joyce From B9 Creations
Hello All, Found this today. It seems that Michael Joyce, the guy who runs the b9robotbuildersclub, has designed his own 3D printer. For now it is on www.kickstarter.com. It looks like it will be a good one. Not sure how much it will cost. I hope that the price of 3d printers will come down to where I can afford one. I really could benefit from...

Motor Control
Hello! I have connected two motors to the EZ-B using an HBridge and can turn the motors on simultaneously for the same amount of time through commands such as Forward(). Is it possible to control the motors separately (e.g. one on and the other off, one rotating clockwise and the other counterclockwise, etc.) when using only one HBridge?
