 I am surprised at the relative conservative capability you described on our 2006 machine. As for the 2007 machine, in anticipation of an aquatic game, we have completed a robot that "walks on water" and are well along with one that can "part the sea". - Bill Beatty [more] |

Re: program port in computer
You want a serial port, it has a 9 pin female connector. It is often labeled IOIOIO.
Otherwise a USB port works if you get a USB to Serial converter, about $20. |

Re: program port in computer
that should work too- i'd say its really better to use serial compared to a usb-to-serial cable, since that is a lot slower (at least on my AVR
 ) |

Re: program port in computer
In order to program the bot, you need a USB converter or a computer with a standard db9 female port (9 pins). These are labeled 1010 or COM1. These are the same. (I'm pretty sure those are 1s and 0s, not Is and Os).
