Hi sthelmo,
The USB connection on the Mini Maestro is in fact a Serial to USB and interface the internal serial interface of the board.
This said, it mean you can use any Wireless serial adapter out there like a XBee or Bluetooth depending on what you need to do.
If you already have Bluetooth on your PC you might go this way as it’s less expensive.
Bluetooth Mate Silver Module is one good option.
Going with XBee’s you will need two modules, one for your robot and the other for the PC.
Maxstream 1mW XBee Transceiver Moudle (Wire Antenna)
XBee Explorer Regulated (Robot side)
XBee Explorer USB (PC Side)
All the best,
