This is the thread for my current project Dewy. He is a tall robot that uses RAD parts and models a omnibot in a way.
For showcases sake:
Here's the process of tearing down the RAD.
Here's where I finished off.

Ok. So. Here's the plans for Roli mega(or mega roli).
2.Add Roli Neck components(Clip 'n' play servo, rotating clip 'n' play servo, and camera)
All the stuff I mentioned I have on order so its just a waiting game. When orders start to ship I can imagine the forum will explode with activity to where the recent posts page will changing every few seconds. So, keep checking this project when you can to make sure I can get help.
This will be a Quicky project to make way for my planned future project, a recreation of pranav's fomnibot(foam omnibot).
Update!: Well, I just purchased some more stuff for mega roli.
Mainly: A battery Ping sensors Mini dean plugs
Getting even more anxious!
@techno. , awesome man , I still have a couple spare rad bases laying around. What battery did you get? For sure remember to lube the gears well with lithium grease. The rad for sure has a cool tracked base. It seems to like 12 volts.
Really? Hmmm. Too late. 7.2volt battery shipping to me soon.
Does putting a lot of grease in there make them quieter? Found out that soft things dull sound waves. So, my idea was to take pieces of felt, put them over the gear box, and then put tin foil on that. Will have to see if I have lithium grease.
Edit: To Update: So far I have spent around $210CAD(not counting parts I purchased for my future bot.)
I feel you Tech. $5 here, $10 there, $25 somewhere else, the next thing you know you're at $200 and don't even know it. It all adds up but it's worth it.
Here's what I did with one of my RAD 1.0 robots:
I cut the top off for easy access. This is my test platform for sensors and code testing.
Cool dude! I plan on keeping the top the same but will trim to remove mounts.
What did you use to cut the plastic?
