Microsoft Robotics Studio can be used with a wide variety of robotics hardware. In this section you can find information for setting up some but the list is by no means exhaustive. Information about additional hardware platforms is provided by Microsoft Robotics Studio Partners, the Microsoft Robotics Studio developer community, and on the MSDN forums (see references at the bottom of this topic).

In general, follow the instructions for setting up your hardware and its means of communication to your PC running an operating system supported by Microsoft Robotics Studio. The following information may be helpful in setting up the robots supported by the tutorials included in this release. In addition Robotics Tutorial 6 (C#) - Remotely Connected Robots provides step-by-step instructions for how to develop support for other remotely connected robotics hardware.
