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
What battery you use for the computer?
do need memory plus hard drive,4 gig of memory not bad price $25 newegg has the model too but higher cost ,and amazon (i am biggest customer) has other ZOTAC boards also,but this fairly low cost and fast with WIFI
12 VOLTS ,NICAD or may use LI-PO FOR LYNXMOTION design if other designs depend if gel cell at 12 volts,like my omnibot project i may use gel cell 12 volt battery
but dont forget to get the adapter ,12 volts to 19 volts since the board take a 19 volts like most laptops do
this one is cheap 3.3 amps out ,11 to 14 volts in $6.95 12 volts to 19 volts laptop adapter
Went googling and this seems like a good option as well as others they have on their site

In my lynxmotion design i think i dont enough room for it,i bought 3 slim LI-PO 12VOLTS THAT TOTAL MORE THEN THAT,this way you can place them in different area's battery most likely have that size of it,but good for other robot projectd ITS a good find,i buy from dealtime alot
Do you have a link?
got them off ebay while back,will post photos of them today its 14.5 volts at 5000ma and another at 4000ma and another at 11.1 volts at 5000 ma
Cool I like this project, will be following and thanks for all the info and cool ideas
