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.
i always said it will add weight ,plus needs a bigger battery to handle the weight and extra power for vacuum motor if you want to add it,add anothe r vacuum head to the front or use his arms to push a vacuum clea ner ,like a person does
I think you could add to front.
Does the Omnibot have enough grip to be able to push and pull a vac? From what I have seen of them I think he would drop it all the time.
@JOSH your goody bag as you call it,i ound out USPS is very slow now,should get it tuesday i having the same problem with package to get here,pretty soon no more USPS ,because of the layoffs
@sfoy the omnibot is 4wd so I imagine it has plenty of grip , I would certainly like the vacuum to work.well. I would have the power head under the robot it would be very hard to get the robot to push a vacuum. Watching a movie "the other guys".hilarious! After this movie I'm going to try cutting the bottom out of the base and rotate it. First ofcourse ill make sure the.power head fits better.
DEPEND ON WEIGHT and torque of motors ,plus gear ratio.plus i think you are using rubber tracks witch does hold and have enough traction due to rubber,does handle most loads depend on weight and terrain,if need more traction you need a wood plate tracks or hard metal or plastic plates
so hard to say if you tracks will handle you load and big big battery and push the vacuum without try and error
I was more thinking the hands. If he were to push it as a person.
JOSH do you have a remote for the RAD 2.0 or anyone else that wants to sell me i have 3 RAD 2.0 and looking to fully restore one
@JOSH i see you got your goodie bag (as you call it) from me saterday if need info on the right pinon gear (gear on motor) can give the info motors have very high torque,i tested them at 70 lbs and worked great
