Hello Ketchup,

Sometimes a complex answer is necessary to an apparently simple question.

1) The currently available version of Robodance does support i-SOBOT but only with the USB UIRT or Lego Mindstorms Serial Tower (not USB) infrared tranceivers. It does not support the WowWee Roboremote transceiver yet.

2) In a week or two, I'll be releasing a version of Robodance that does support the Roboremote, but at this time I have not gotten it to work with i-SOBOT; only with WowWee's robots. I'm still actively pursuing this but I have no idea yet whether or not I'll get it to work with i-SOBOT.

If anything changes, I'll post an announcement on the Robodance web site:

Thanks,
Robert

Thanks, Robert.
And thanks for Robodance work.

I guess I'll have to get the USB UIRT.

I was looking for a less expensive IR transmitter or a kit for the UIRT.

Ketchup,

Wait until I release Robodance 4.6 which is coming out very soon, before buying anything.

Thanks,
Robert
