This is beyond amazing. I am a big fan of EZ-Robot and the community.
I was fortunate enough to get a Omnibot 2000 and plan on installing the EZB 4/2 into it. I have questions pertaining to the arms of the Omnibot and the servo setup.
I am curious what servos were used for the shoulders, elbows, wrists and claws? Is there a guide on upgrading the arms with servos?
Lastly, what H Bridge is recommended for the drive motors? Should I change the motors to something more beefier?
Thank you all for all the contributions. This site and the EZ-Robot product line is inc readable resource.

Hi Sean,
Here's a link to page with a lot of building tips including a material list. Most of the parts can be bought right here in the EZ Robot store. Best thing is things like the HD servos are now upgraded to the new EZ Robot servos that are super amazing and powerful.

Have fun!
Thank you for the links!
Thanks for the kind words. I used the ezrobot hbridge from the store in this website. And you can still use the same motors. Took a bit of probing to find what wire was for what motor without taking the gearbox apart.
