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.

Robots the community built with Synthiam ARC. Get ideas for your next build.
Programming , never done it at all lol remember this robot.is my first time at making a mechanical spectical lol
my scripting is fairly good,plus LISPWORKS used in LEAF plus a few other programming ,just learning C++, @sfoy IF you need the roomba update tool i can let you borrow it,costs about $50 ONLY NEED THE SERIAL # SINCE they make 2 different types ,called OSMO hacker,it updates the SCI codes to work with EZB and other software,on the newer models not needed only 4000 seials or under
There's lots of sample code out there. I try to dabble but haven't done much. I find code and hack it. :o)
@SFOY i kinda do that too (like a sample code)
@JOSH is is a idea the could work for you ,buy a used roomba take out the main board plus sensor like dirt sensors and put them in to your robot without the motors(will need a sense resistor on each motor or will not work,then use the EZB on port D0 to control docking and dirt pickup now for auto charging station use IROBOT ROOMBA home base and add your own charging circuit
That's a great idea. Especially since you have the vac in there.
only the drive motors need a current sense (load) resistor,can use the other ones to turn on the vacuum motor,you do need a 17 volt to 12 volt adapter for your vacuum motor,i made one very simple for MEL'S turtle bot and you need a another converter 12 volts to 17 volts for the roomba battery ONE High SWITCH IS 1.5 amps another is 500ma AND I THINK ANOTHER 500ma
also since it a day before saterday and i am also CHEF i need to do some cooking
