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.

I actually already have the arms built for my omnibot but I have a 1/16 scale RC tank I was thinking of removing the turret and putting one of these arms on it. Just for a cool little grabber bot.
Oh ok cool , post pics man. I'm at a stall on my stuff , waiting on parts to get here to start mounting and such.
Hey Bret how's the Omnibot coming , we need some videos of this guy running around
Awesome CLAW! Ah man, I just got a serial motor controller board from Sparkfun in the mail today. If I had known they had this CLAW, I would've ordered 2 Myself!!!:( Oh well, pulling out the Credit Card!

Just a thought but remember that guy is parting out robots , you could retrofit easily the 2000 arms which are bigger and more articulate , just move over the shoulder mounts you already fanned. Sorta like this....Ps, the eBay robot guy sells domes for 30
I def like the 2000 arms. I will post some video tonight of my arms moving. I'm still having a little trouble with wrist and claw movement/flutter. I am going to try a separate power source and just use the signal from the board and see if that clears it up.
