Hi all.
I haven't been able to get to my Robobuilder recently due to many of life's other "distractions".
However, one thing that I guess isn't clear to me ... how do I remote control it to make it walk and keep walking until I either press a button or release a button. Seems for everything I've done it's walk, stop, press the button, walk, stop, etc. Even if I take the forward walk motion and copy it a bunch of times and play it, I still need to keep telling it to go again.
Is there a way that I'm just not seeing or thinking about? I see videos of other humanoids and they can be made to walk (or run) turn, etc with a remote and there's no apparent pause.
Ideas?
Thanks a bunch!

basically, firmware motion should be changed,
I haven't tried yet. So I am not sure.
but my idea is
1) Download the "super speed walking" from RB website.
2) Control RB by bluetooth controller, NOT by IR remote.
I will also think it over this issue~ and will let you know the solution

I can see now RB can walk, walk, no pause in firmware ver2.30
if you control by PC or Bluetooth

Their documentation is rather terse 
It would be useful to know the extensions to the RBC serial protocol to access these functions - they keep referring to a "user guide" but then don't link to an updated version. But if any one finds out please tell so I can update the .NET library to enable continuous movement.
This is quite possible to do in L# with RobobuilderLib, either by directly controlling the servos or by uploading new walk motions and then calling them in a loop. The current motion has a pause at the start and end - so by editing that to remove the pause might work - although keeping bot stable will be the problem.
Sounds like we should have a competition for the robobuilder 10m dash !
