About this robot

This project has evolved some , the basic rundown is I'm modding two Omnibots , one a regular the other a larger 2000 model. I will have two ezb kits , rad base idea was thrown out because of so much noise but could go back on the table if the omnibot drivetrain is too weak to pull it.

so what are you using for wheels and motors

#1234  

I have the stock.omnibot gearbox and wheels

Ok I started molding the vacuum in , I put two layers on tonight , I will trim down the bulk with the dremel then put one more coat on to level out low spots. I will spot apply to cover any pinholes. I did glue the vacuum in.more places , I will put probably two screws in it once its done to keep pressure on the filler and seems so they never delaminate.

Yup , if I can get him back from Sam this weekend, she's been working really hard on it I can't wait to see it!:) I will start testing servos and the gear box I believe , the servo controller / tester is on the way , I literally plug it in and I.move it around in seconds so it will give me a idea of his range of motion. I am considering extending his forearms maybe a couple inches and maybe the wrist , it wouldnt hurt the looks since he is getting a 11 inch growth spurt lol. I'm so excited to make some videos of his arms and head moving around:)

@ Brett thanks for the hose! I'm trying to position the arms/ shoulder in a way I can cover it up , crossing my fingers this flex tubing does the trick!
