Hey Luvs,
I GOT HIM! I GOT HIM! I GOT HIM! I got RS Media!
As most of you know. I am working on a special project that requires an RS Media. Back in mid April to early May, I had broken down, TOOK A RISK and got back on eBay and tried to get an RS Media there. The last bid I tried, I was beat out by a guy in New York, N. Y. who took it for $250.00 over my $150.00 bid. So I stopped trying.
Two weeks after that, fate dumped that same robot in my lap in the form of the seller (Lance) contacting me and telling me that the winner was actualy in TURKEY and wanted him to ship it to him for the cost of sending it from Norwalk, CA (Where the robot is now. I was born there and lived there till I was 8.5 years old.) to New York and to do something that would also not charge him the coustoms fees and slip it past coustoms!
WELL! Lance smelled a rat and told him NO WAY and filed a bad bidder complaint with eBay and then offered it to me for my $150.00 bid! When I told him I no longer had the money for the robot, he came back and said he would hold it and let me make payments.
So I started sending him $25.00 a month till I had it down to $100.00 this month. Then just yesterday, my bank decided to give back $150.00 of the $462.00 they took from me (That is another story.) since April.
So I contacted Lance and he said that since I have been trying so hard and was always honest with him and sent him the money when I said I would, he will take $75.00 today, ship RS Media out TODAY and let me get the remaining $25.00 to him after I am finished with my work at The MN Renaissance Festival in October!
One of my fellow Rennies and his Wife own a shop at festival and he has a mess of RS bots and other bots (I think he even has a couple of the old "BIO Bugs?) that he has made body shells for them that look like fantasy cretures (IF he has them with him this year, I will TRY to get some photos for you all here.) and he puts on shows for the children, outside their shop with them and he is a hacker and a Modder on them and other bots like all of us here are.
He and I are going to put our heads together on my project while we are out there at the campgrounds this year! I do not even think he has an RS Media. If he is not a member of this board, I WILL tell him about it!
SO I FINALY HAVE AN RS MEDIA and I can not wait to see what he can do and then get down to seeing what I can do with him and some of my other RS bots to work up a bot that will be what I need for my project! I have worked so hard to get him and I am so tickled that he will be here soon. Now I need to get that "Robodance" program and a UART device so I can really get down to work on this project.
BTW! Where do I get the "Robodance" and does anyone here know where I can put my hands on a UART device?

Hello Lady Royce, I'm glad for ya! The new robodance will have RS Media support and also support the $20 roboremote form wowwee. I have been waiting excitedly for the release to got to work on it. Post pictures of your rsmedia arrival!
I'm so, so, so happy to hear you finally got your RS Media! I know you have been working really hard to acquire it and your diligence has finally paid off! The robodance software is available at www.robodance.com. I believe that the WowWee Roboremote can be used like a UIRT device for controlling the robots via robodance, and they are only $20 a piece where most other UIRTs are around $50. Good luck with your RS Media!

Hey Freddy,
I have an old "Kodak DC 4800" digitial camera that my boss at the renaissance festival gave me back in 2006 and you can bet your fuzzy tail that as soon as I can get someone to shoot "Isaac" and I a few times and I can do a shoot of "Isaac," "Andrew," "Roboquad" (I need to find a name for him.) and my other bots that I can get to without tearing open a mess of boxes. You will all get to see photos of all of us as soon as I can download them to my computer.
"Isaac" was shipped out via UPS yesterday and they say he should be here this Thursday or Friday and I am ready to jump out of my skin waiting for him! I hope it is Thursday and that UPS gets here early and does not make me wait all day for them to get here! I WANT "ISAAC" HERE NOW! (ROTFLMFFTO!) :-p
Thank you for the "Robodance" information. When will it be out? Does "Robodance" cost anything to get and does it work as well with the "Roboremote" as it does with the UART?
All in all. Thank you to all here for the kind words and I will post photos as soon as I can. NOW! It is time for me to start downloading everything I can find on the "RS Media" robot that I can find and start reading up on my new bot and what makes him tick. :-)

As far as I know Robodance is for free and it works fine with the Roboremote. As for getting your RS Media - Bloody good job!
The cure for this disease is lack of money. It doesn't stop the itch though.

ROBODANCE IS FREE!? ACES! Could I find it on the R/C? On the remote. Could one get it at any store that has "Wow Wee" bots or does one buy it from "Wow Wee" directly? Also. does it plug it into your computer and can one leave it connected like a UART device or must one remove it from the computer to make use of it?
As you can see. I am just so tickled to be getting Isaac here after all this fussing, fighting, begging and working that it is not even funny! I want to get started learning all his functions and then using him, Andrew (My RS V2.) and Roboquad in my project I needed to use them for.
Anyway. I have been up all night with this damaged back of mine BLOODY WELL KILLING ME. I must try for some sleep because both eyes are in one socket now and I am having a vary hard time seeing the monitor!
Be Well Luv.

A bit of light reading for you :)

Cool.. I'm glad you won! Do you have Roboquad? I just won him on Ebay, NIB, for $44 ($58 with shipping). Can't wait.. looks like a cool robot.
Next on my want list is the Rovio and i-Sobot. I'm going to use Robodance with these.. Robodance looks like a lot of fun! Can't wait for v5.
Have fun,
