I bought the ER1 when I was in Taiwan in 2002 and it cost me just over USD $1000.00 with shipping. The acer notebook cost about USD $800.00 in Taiwan. I have rebuilt it about 3 times , but this time I built it with the notebook at a higher level so I can sit in a chair and use it instead of lying on the floor :). I have Zabaware Ultrahal conversation software on it and 3 sharp sensors which I still need to connect. I only get time during the vacations to work on it so it s a very long and ongoing project. I am learning C# so maybe someday I can write my own API program for it. At the moment I am using the installed behavior programs to run it. Kevin

Nice bot Kevin! I also have
Nice bot Kevin! I also have a ER1 kit (although I need to sell it...) that I have used to make a butler robot, now reduced to the original chassis style. I have some other ER1 software stuff, like the ERSP 2.0, Python SDK, if you're interested, let me know.

ersp 2
I am interested in the ersp 2 software because when I bought mine they were not selling that anymore. Are you selling it and for how much?
Thanks
