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.

Iron Man R2D2 paint job...would be pretty cool on ANY BOT!:)
@ Bret , no it won't look good. Get a pinstripe kit for cars , has a finetip brush and you can use quality paint options as well that won't flake off !
Doh!, Here's the Link:
R2D2 IRON MAN PAINT JOB
@RR333 - nice. @jstarne1 - good idea I do have some EL-wire running through some of the lines that will be lit up when he is on, but I think some detail work might be a nice finished product.
@bret. Well see man , I have the fan controller which all knobs light up Plus the system status LCD which lights up and a 4.5 inch LCD tv for a monitor. It would be cool to get a large flat top led and put it in the center of the claw to mimic iron man's repulser. A small amount of el could work.... Hmm. Any ideas of where specifically? I wouldn't mind modding to head to look similar to.iron man in the face. Any design ideas for.different face I could make (but within the same head shell? )

I just recieved 2 of those SparkFun Claws w/o servos... Seems an Odd size...What type/size servo did You end up using? Thanx:)
I used a 9g mini servo. I did have to do a little filing to the opening to get it to fit though. The servo was very snug going in to the opening but then I didn't have to screw it down. It is working great!
How did you fasten it. My mini servos don't line up with. Claw mounting holes. Did you drill new ones?
