    Not really, unless you want to invest in another mobile phone, and then pay for connection charges whenever you're controlling your robot.

    The least expensive solution is with an IR-Buddy and a Radio Shack universal remote control. The IR-Buddy 'understands' Phillips RC-5 IR signalling, so you set the Universal Remote for Phillips and now you can send button presses to the Sumobot.

    I believe the least expensive RF solutions are in the $100 range and up.

    well, If the mobile phone has bluetooth capabilities, you may be able to use it with the eb500 without suffering charges, but I don't know. As allanlane5 said, there are other wireless control methods, one of which is a cheap wireless link sold by sparkfun for $12.

    If your phone supports J2ME (Java) applications, you could write a simple Java application for your phone that controls the bluetooth functionality of the phone. There is a good page on that here. Actually if you know some Java, it shouldn't bee too hard to do.

    well, you've just got to have the basic stamp interpret the signals recieved by the eb500, and tell the motors on the robot what to do.
