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.

Yes I see the motors , so I can replace my current motors with these , higher capacity right? I see this third item that has three metal circles , is that a dirt sensor? How do I use it? Thanks man!
Also what came in when I checked the mailbox , blue led bar displays , so I can make a visual light up display when Jarvis talks or makes other noise.
ny specs on these motors? Voltage? I planned on running them at 12v so I don't need a step down.
Led bars I bought from eBay , $5 I want to use them for his "mouth" so when he speaks this lights up. I was thinking of lining up all 5 and mount in the chest or something , just anywhere.
Ok I know this is a out of date picture but the gap under power managment system and above the fan controller , maybe I could put the led blue bar right there? Any better idea? There is not enough room in the face of jarvis to finagle a led bar mouth. Feedback greatly appreciateed.
motors are 12 volts,now on the dirt sensor ? will ask around,i know red is 12 volts black is ground there is one wire for analog and only other wire might be a switch need to see if romba forum if a nyone knows anything on it motors you may need to cut the shaft as i did too will look for part # of the correct pinon gear from servocity
My proposed design for the center torso riser , completely reversable and screws together in all.the factory locations. PVC plastic on outside skin , PVC square tubing for corner support , two thin basswood ribs and covered in 1 or two layers fiberglass matt.
Very nice....
i build designs like that for in-house testers using pvc, even made a very special vacuum tank using 1" clear acrylic .i did my own welding of the frame ,from i see looks like it wont handle the weight but best is to try it,so HOPE IT HOLDS
You said fiberglass matt. Are you coating with resin?
If so I think the fiberglass will be strong enough to support it. I have worked with it before and used just fiber glass with a few layers it was really strong.
Yes fiberglass matt with resin I will try a dry layup to reduce weight. That's where you add resin , then sponge off the excess, 8 oz matt , two layers , the PVC is only for outside appearenmcsfiberglass raw is horrible to try and match the near perfect finish of the other plastic parts , they will not be structural , fiberglass and the 8 wood ribs and wood top and bottom are the structure , I will test it to 80 pounds , twice what it will ever see to be sure it never flexes or twists under pressure I've done tons of fiberglass projects in automotive applications. This riser should weight 2 to 3 pounds once done.
