B.O.B. Bret's Omnibot

Great that those cheap servos work ok, got me a bit worried as I just bought a heap of them.

I think the real problem was I had damaged the wiring during the install on the original one. I tested all the other ones I have and they all worked fine. When you can get a servo for a couple of bucks and it works well, that is pretty awesome!

Bob gets radar!

Hey Bret how tall is.the range of view? For example if the radar is.mounted at 6 inches from floor on the.bot can.it.see.somthing 8-10th inches high?

I don't know, I haven't played with it enough yet. My battery died during the video, that's why it started moving so slow. I have to get a charger, lol. Then I can continue.

Ask the guys with more experience then me jstarne1. But from what I've been seeing playing around it's fairly narrow out at 1ft. bret.tallent I set my increment speed to 1/2 of the minimum and maximum that way it scans left, center, right J.W.

Hey Bret , have you hooked up a h bridge yet? I wanna see your bot moving around! Ps I have a spare regular Omnibot drive train if you have a blown motor or stripped gears. If I need more power on my bot I have a extra 2000 drive train I could use to power two additional wheels that are normally cheap plastic "dummy wheels" with no motor. I have the extra wheels too!. Can we say 6 wheel drive 4 motor omnibot? ? Fyi when you.have a second drive.box and wheels you easily can add two more wheels onto your Omnibot instead of that dummy caster it has right now.

No drive section yet. I'm working on the head and camera first, then do the drive last. 6 wheel drive is sick! I think I have plenty of power for this little guy as I haven't really changed the weight much. Lost the tape drive but added servos and a claw. But I am also going to do the dynamat so that will add some weight. But not enough to drag it down. But I may play with the drive section a little this weekend.
