So I am finally to a point to report some progress on my omnibot hack. I call him BOB. I decided to change his color as there are so many white ones out there. I used a flat black with silver accents.

@mcsdaver - thanks, that's a good idea. I actually bought an mp3 trigger set up for B9 and I will use it's auxillary outputs to drive the voice box lights of the B9. But the bluetooth speaker is a good idea for BOB. If you look at my thread for my B9 I used a RAD 1.0 track base for the drive section and it really zips around with a 12V battery in him. Plus I use a servo to change the gear selector for high or low gear. Do you have any progress/pics of your humanoid project? I would like to see that. I think my next hack is going to be K-9 from Dr. Who. I have a 12" RC one that does not work so is a prime candidate for EZ-B.
I am trying to build my humanoids head before showing him off. He has a Robosapien V2 upper body with my robotic arms I had on my C3PO. I may get back to C3PO sometime, but I want to get this robot from a story I am writing built first. The arms have 7 servos each and the head will have 2 servos and the camera. I am rebuilding the legs from the Robosapien to see if I can make it walk more human like and be a bit taller. I wanted to use the hands too, but they are too big for my robot. The V2 hands have fingers as long as mine. I have been following your Bob build and your B9. You are doing great on both robots. I have 2 RAD robots to use for parts, but I may use something else for B9. If I could find a good head for him I would build a much bigger B9. I have two 1/6 scale tanks. One is in perfect shape, the other wont drive reverse anymore. Could rebuild it into a much larger B9 or a Johnny 5 robot. It couldn't handle a full scale B9. I do have wheelchair motors for large robot fun.
so, he is also sort of a Franken-Bot. Can't wait to see him.
:D
@ MovieMaker Yes, a franken-bot of sorts. I started a thread for mine so I wont take over Bob's build. Pics soon.
