Microsoft Robotics Studio to Program Parallax's Beo-Bot
Has anybody completed the tutorial4 of the Robotics studio ?
I have been searching for the Microsoft Robotics SDK (November 2006 CTP release).
I have tried to search the web with no luck, I have also tried the Microsoft page with no luck.

I wish to try this tutorial.
Thanks,

That DevX article is pointing to a PDF for the November CTP. The PDF that supports the 1.0 release is available for download here:

Boe-Bot + MSRS Instructions

Driver + test code

Tips:
To make sure things work properly, I typically uninstall MSRS 1.5, and start with a fresh install of MSRS 1.0. Then, I carefully follow the instructions in MSRS-Bluetooth-Boe-Bot-v1.4.pdf.
Use new alkaline AA batteries; do not use rechargeable batteries.
The Boe-Bot won't work right if the instructions for centering the servos get skipped. Run the navigation TestSpeakerLedsServos.bs2 in the zip file and verify that The Boe-Bot's goes forward, rotates left, rotates right, and then goes backward.
Remember to run BoeBotControlForMSRS.bs2 before attempting to controll the Boe-Bot with MSRS.
