I made a johnny five robot from lynxmotion and made many changes ,upgraded to higher torque servo's,added another deck for itx board,change the motors for higher torque,looking to add feedback,plus more servo's in arms ,plus web cam and more
Most of this is done already,was going to use lynxmotion SSC-32 servo board until i found the best controller for it EZB
BIGGEST problem finding a small ITX to replace my pico-itx board at 1 ghz 2 gig ram
here is a photo of the design without changes 
will be posting photos of it with changes,it a little apart for more upgrades
kit is about $900 and to add very high torque servo's about $1300 like i did
16 servo's now and might add 2 more for drive
Next is the 2 sides
Saterday will be adding the EZB to my build,and adding the turret, ordered two 14.8 volt 4.5 amp (9 amps total ) LI-PO BATTERY for ITX mother board and drive motors,so hope to get them in soon
Will post more photos of my build saterday or sunday
H-BRIDGE board is a 2 CYTRON MD10C, robotshop has them for about $16 each 10 amp 3-25 single controller.
On the turret will have photos of how i made and parts list
will have photo up tonight or sunday on the sonars i added.
and some part #'s and links
I ordered 2 4000mah at 14.8 volts to have 8amps
hobbyking zippy 14.8v at 4000mah
Been working for a few weeks building boards and updates.
BUT not as much fun as building the circuit from scratch.
THE design will have bar graph on the sides just like johnny five has.
That is an awesome robot you are building.
I can't wait to see your progress and more pictures. Thank you for sharing your project with us.
Is there a way to make your projects show up under showcase?

Mostly the head design needs to be very close to the real johnny five design and thats the hardest
Then make plastic covering for body and arms ,but not that important
Plus need to finish a few small robot projects like BIPED design 95 % done and roomba design may be 95% done and may be one more
I asked DJ but still no answer on this about showing up in showcase ,i think when i was a ghost and then un-ghosted he forgot to put them back.
