Omnibot 2000. $40?

Question

Just saw a 2000 in local thrift store. Right hand broken off, rest looks intact. They were asking 40 bucks. Is that a good deal?

MikeDC · Answer

Yes, it definetely is! Especially if you want to "EZ-robot" it. Its a good base to start from and if you put an EZ-Robot kit inside, you wont be needing the electonics or the old remote anymore. I am sure you could fix up the arm somehow.

Book says the original battery was 6v. I have a good 7.2 pack I am using now with the EZ board. Can the original motors handle 7.2v, if i gut all the electronics?

jstarne1 · Answer

Oh yes, they are really strong. I have 12v on mine. Honestly.though it's ten dollars.for a ub645 6v replacement battery on ebay.

I paid 150 for my omnibot.2000 plus 40 for shipping. The arms break.easy.

Here's a quick photo of the new addition to the family. Treads look in good shape, and it grinds if i push it, so i'm hopeful that the motors/gears are in good shape. Still has a 6V battery installed; condition unknown. The AA batteries in there will need to be dug out and some acid treatment done.. but all in all, looks like a good find...

Looks like a gun arm to me!

jdmarsh50 · Answer

Yeah. We will see. Any idea what amperage the stock motor setup pulls? More than 2A?

MikeDC · Answer

Great buy! Are you planning on trying to find the hand or will you add a custom hand? If you dont need the arm gears, let me know. Regards, Mike

jstarne1 · Answer

The cyber strike x4 automatic airsoft gun fits great into the elbow area connected to the upper arm. Every cool robot needs a gun to terrorize the neighborhood kids with lol.
