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.
The vacuum overhangs the torso by just under 7 inches , my plastic is 7 inches , maybe I got lucky
I took a back cover from a different bot that fit better.
I used medium thickness ca glue to adhere the back cover on. , I may add some epoxy later but this seems to be plenty. I will let this sit overnight , tommorow I will probably trim on the vacuum some and maybe shave off a half inch in thickness. Coming soon : high torque servo mounts for the shoulders!how are you going to acess the batteries and electronics if anything goes bad
Josh that is awesome! It looks really cool, kinda like a jet pack. Once it's finished in it will look like it's always been there.
The vacuum could be removed with screws , if I need inside the torso I would unscrew that and front completely comes off , its really not difficult. Next I must make the riser and install mounting areas for the shoulder and elbow servos. Lastly I will install the vacuum power head in the bottom. It's coming along , I can't wait for him to get to paint! It's getting soo close.
i guess anything can be removed with screws
Parts came in! Courtesy of the radioshack that I destroyed the phone in. 10 steel led holders.

almost forgot they on sale at servocity,but not to long can thank JOSH for finding the sale on the HSR-5995TG i used them on another design LYNXMOTION JOHNNY FIVE while back and very good servos high torque,very long lasting gears,and they my part of the servos i had planned my my omnibot arm design,i am working on making a custom gear box and servo bracket for my design
I'm thinking about buying 2 more of the 5995 they seem really strong for a standard size.
