Not yet but im happy to help. Do you have a link for some information to this robot you want to hack or mod? Pics and specs are appreciated.
The bot is in the following link http://www.solarbotics.com/product/60125/. It has pictures and dimensions. I am new to EZ robot, so I dont know much. I finished building the chassi.
Hello rbot993 thanks for a quick response. This kit is a plexi topper add on to the famous (and common) tamiya tank tracks kit. I will grab the tutorial videos and make a list of ez robot products in the video. First to interface the gearbox motors w ezb you need a H Bridge. The l298n Hbridge supports 2.5 amps current draw which is plenty for your Brutus base.
Ez board
Sonar ping sensor
L298n 2.5 amp H Bridge motor controller
Standard servo for radar movement
( if you want video navigation , spy capabilities or color and facial tracking you need ez cam as well)

Just a fun inspirational video of omnibot driving around looking at things and seeing his reactions. Entertainment if nothing else
