Rich · Answer

All Revolution robots have EZ-Bit connectors so you have a lot of options available with customising it. I believe there is an EZ-Bit connector on the rear of the Roli chassis so yes, the tail connects to it. There have been no mention of other colours however they can be painted.

Nomad 6R · Answer

hi do you know what for the slot is for

Rich · Answer

I assume for the cables to go through which go up to any head or camera you attach

Antron007 · Answer

I May Be mistaken but i think its a slot to run the wires to the ezb. Also, i believe roli has 3 ezbit slots on the rear. as far as the chest goes, you'd have to cut out a space for the screen or design a body with the space for it and have it 3d printed. as far as colors go, i do think they are all white as of now but some people have 3d printers and we'll see some variety in the forums from that. aameralis (i hope i got that right) has already printed a blue mini six. it looks great IMHO. also im sure you could paint the parts any color you want.

Rich · Answer

Open Roli in ARC and look at the 3D design of him, it'll show everything you need to know. Scrap that idea, Roli has been updated since the ARC version from the looks of it.

Nomad 6R · Answer

great.i just found the page for desing your own rolli.but it seems not all bits are on it.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i see only 6 bits.is that normal?

MovieMaker · Answer

I believe you could dye the plastic pieces if I am not mistaken.

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes thats what i bin told ,cool

Antron007 · Answer

You're looking at the "used bits". That just shows the bits that are currently in use. Click the "Library" button and that will show you what bits you can add. If you're just designing the body you could start a new project and just add the roli pieces from the library to it.

Rich · Answer

Be aware the roli body is an old version which looks like it supports the V3 not the V4 (at least on my PC)

Nomad 6R · Answer

oh.thank you bolt

Antron007 · Answer

Yes Rich is right about the V3. Good catch

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes i see that not all bits are there.so back to the drawing board. blush

Antron007 · Answer

You may want to check the library for updates. I started a project for my Roli from scratch and I had all of the bits I need. I wasn't going to make it public on the cloud yet because it's far from finished but I just put it up so you can look at it. Cloud>Incomplete Robots> Antron's Roli. The body is the older style but it didn't affect my design or plans. Quick note. My Roli, at this stage is configured for the parts I have/will have when Roli gets here. I've bigger plans for him I just need to save up for some more parts to get him where I truly want him. (And I'm trying to keep that sort of a surprise )

Nomad 6R · Answer

i will check for updates.thank you

Nomad 6R · Answer

is parts waist JD and under body to by ?

Antron007 · Answer

I used the Rover base in bodies to substitute for the treaded track. and put the rover cover on top of it. The body os the jd biped body.

Sudo the Banned · Answer

Well, that's quite a plan you have there. I'm fairly certain that the JD-to-Roli body EZ-Bit isn't available yet, but maybe soon. (they probably still have the 3D model)

Antron007 · Answer

The JD body will slide in where the camera servos are attached.

Sudo the Banned · Answer

The JD body has two female connectors, and to make it worse the roli body has a female connector on the part he wants to click it on to. The robot in the picture is using a 3d-printed connector (designed by niek, if I remember correctly).

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes thats correct.

Niek · Answer

Wow, that IS my adapter

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes it looks very good on the rolli.is on sale?

Niek · Answer

Not at the moment, but you can download the design file by clicking 'User Details' under my profile picture and going to 'EZ-Bits'.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i will try that .thank you is the 3d print only availeble in sdk?

Niek · Answer

I've attached the STL file to this post. You can import it in the bit builder to use it in ARC. Most 3d-printer software also supports STL files. Adaptor.STL

Nomad 6R · Answer

thank you very much niek

Sudo the Banned · Answer

You're going to have to 3D print a bigger chest aswell. As you may know, there are two servos cased inside of the chest that move the arms up and down.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i dont have a 3d printer. i cant open file from niek eather.

Niek · Answer

@nomad To use the file in ARC you go to 'Project', 'Bit Builder' and click 'Add STL'. Since you don't have a 3d printer, you could use a service like shapeways and have them print it and ship it to you.

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes i saw that. i seen on the by page here.the top off rolli is separt to by but the bottem is not separt to by.

Niek · Answer

You can buy the Rover Body - shell and the Rover Chassis seperately and put them together to form the lower half of Roli. You'll need the 2A motor controller and some form of power source to drive the motors.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i ordered the power source allreddy here. and the 2A motor controleer i will by in 2 weeks. i wanna change the tail too . is that a batterie in the rover in the middle?

Sudo the Banned · Answer

You load the base with 3 (AA?) batteries, as far as what I can see in the picture.

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes it looks like that.

Niek · Answer

If you buy the seperate chassis, yes. If you buy roli, he's powered off a LiPo.

Nomad 6R · Answer

can the base not take power from the ez-b4 ?

Niek · Answer

I don't think so. The base (where the v4 clicks into) is supposed to be delivering power TO the ez-b. Again, I'm not sure about this. Maybe DJ or somebody else will chime in.

Nomad 6R · Answer

ah ok.

Antron007 · Answer

I'm sorry I thought that the waist/legs had the female and the body had the male. I knew the Rolie was female. @Niek Thanks for posting the adapter stl. Why isn't it in the library I wonder?

Niek · Answer

I think it has to be approved in order to be in the library.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i dont see the upper body from rolli in library

Antron007 · Answer

You don't have the Rover Cover? I was going to post the link but it appears that none of the stls are available from where they should be. EZ Bits

Nomad 6R · Answer

yes i get error too

Nomad 6R · Answer

when will the new jd head availeble whit new camera.

Sudo the Banned · Answer

IF you watch the 25 or so minute intro video, (i don't remember where it is) halfway through the JD head goes from the v3 camera to the v4 camera. The JD head will have the EZ-B v4 camera, so you could have ordered it any day.

Nomad 6R · Answer

i planned to by more in few weeks,cant by all in one time. i will looks it up.i dont see the new head on the by page yet. thank you

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

No matter what you will get the V4 head and camera... There would be no reason to sell the old head since JD is going to ship with version 4 of the EZB controller... Everything about JD, Roli and Six will be version 4, even the camera as well... Maybe you could retro-fit the EZb3 and old camera into an empty shell of JD, but that means buying just the ez bits and servos and putting in your ezb3 hardware yourself....

Nomad 6R · Answer

i dont have a v3.i ordered the v4 and i like that one cause the new camera is connected straight to the v4 . i do have the old camera.am just starting whit ez so i need lot off things.for now i have the v4 some servo 2 off each servo. some cables the radar sensor,batterie and case,the ttl bt chip.mp3 trigger.am looking for a secondhanded win7 ultimate too, here in belgium.
