Righto, in addition to my mac related question i now have a bunch of other questions. If anyone can spare a moment to add their 2penneth i'd much appreciate it.

KHR-1HV Connectivity
1. are there 'stable' bluetooth solutions available to upload and execute actions/programmes? (any product names/info please)

You could make your own blue set up or use a USB RC set up like:

2. any thoughts on whether this would work with the built-in bluetooth on my intel macbook running XP?

I don't know for sure as I am a PC user but it is possible on the PC so with a little ingenuity I don't see why not on a mac.

KHR-1HV Senors
1. does the H2H software allow you to create if/then/else actions based on sensor input - ie on my rn1 - if he falls over, the input from the tilt sensor triggers the 'get up' sequence (for either front or back falls)

Yes

2. does anyone have a list of sensors they've tried and had success with?

You can use any non specific analog sensor. Like accelerometer, gyro, sonar, ect

KHR-1HV inputs and outputs
1. could anyone point me at a resource to find out how many sensor inputs the KHR-1HV can accept, along with a bluetooth interface.

3 analog inputs

2. are there ALSO any spare servo connections - ie for gripper servos etc?

There are 24 servo ports and it only uses 19 so you have 4 more servos you can add.

If anyone happens to have a list of usefull KHR-1HV related sites/documents i'd appreciate that too.

Sorry to sound like a total newb, but I'm trying to cut down on my usual hobby spending, by finding out as much as possible in advance, before buying all the bits i require - rather than buying anything and everything only to find i have a box full of epensive, unused bits.

Thanks in advance.
