I am interested in building an Omnibot 2000 or Omnibot 3000 from the scrap... Using fiberglass... But I would like to know which motors shall I use to bear the weight (about 12-15 Kgs) and drive them... I would even prefer some suggestions on which motor driver compatible to EZ-B to be used... Guys, please guide me in the same...
Sabertooths are compatible with the ez-b. there are many people such as myself who know how to wire up a sabertooth to the ez-b. just ask.
Almost all motor controllers can be controlled by the ez-b one way or another, so just ask and we can probably figure it out.
Here is the link to the place that I got my motors. My robot weighs about 100 lbs now and the motors have no problem pulling him around. I used the 12V motors. You will need to get a "Right Hand (RH)" and a "Left Hand (LH)"

I am using the sabertooth2x12 dual 12A motor driver. It works great with the EZ-B.
If you want something a little smaller you could use the tank style drive section from a R.A.D. robot. Others have used these but I am unsure exactly how much weight they will carry. Search the EZ Forum for ideas.

Yeah. I am using the AME 218 Series 212 in-lb. (RH) Right Hand and (LH) Left Hand. They are a little pricey but I wanted pulling power. I will double check the part number when I get home to be sure.

So any other inexpensive motor driver replacement for it?
Dual VNH3SP30 Motor Driver Carrier MD03A

It's a little compact and powerful driver that's capable of continuous 9 amp and max 30 amp. Highly protected. Supply voltage can be between 5.5 and 16 vdc. It's pricy at about $50 USD but will worth it. It has no heat sink but you may not need one and can always add one. Here's a statement taken from the description of this Motor Driver:

Good luck and have fun,
