Heres Something Different So Far. Part 2
Here are a few updated pictures of my robot ROAMIN since I have painted him. The bottom piece I am still working on, so it's still in primer, but it will be painted gun metal gray soon. He is coming around slowly, I think he is looking good.
Sorry about the bad lighting, its early in the morning, at least you can see him.
Well like I said it's still got aways to go. I have to work on the drivetrain, well I should say fix, the 2 wheels that I will call glider wheels which aren't motorized. I have to fix the plastic pieces that hold the little axles shafts in place, I am going to my local Lowes store tomorrow and see what I can find, I have an idea what I am going to use. The light fixture in the middle of the chest has 5 good size led lights that really light up the room, the 2 speakers on both sides of the robot under its arms will be for the weather radio and music, then I am using the original speaker areas in the front for when he speaks. So all together he is a combination of a Omnibot 2000, Robie Sr. robot and a Robosapien V2 robot, connecting the 2 bodies was a slight challenge, almost no room for error when cutting and grinding, that sort of made me nervous when I was doing it. At this time I am sort of just admiring the project, I get ideas popping into my head, but then I don't want to screw things up making a stupid move. When all done he will be a indoor home robotic companion, hopefully good company to talk to and be able to do somethings as well as be able to inform about the news and weather and music. I also want to come up with a way so that when his battery power gets low, he will be able to recharge himself when needed, that will be another idea to work on.
Awsome so far!
He looks really awesome so far - very impressive.
Thanks bret.tallent, I still have aways to go to match a build like yours :-} Well I received the speakers for the sides of my robot, they are 2 inch speakers and they are matching the holes that are already cut out perfectly, well just a minor adjustment and then I have to find or make some speaker grills for them. It's coming along slowly, but surely, you all know how it goes :-}
On the chest you can add a computer for mapping and other things
