Just Bought A I-Sobot Robot Off Of Ebay.

Hello everyone :-} Well I am still working on my robot Roamin, just about done with the body and everything else, just waiting on my preorder V4 and a few others things I have on order. I came upon a pretty good deal on Ebay. I bidded and actually won a I-Sobot robot with the remote control and box and manual. Only been used a couple of times, so I figured I would give it a try. Do any of you know much about the I-Sobot, figured it would give me something else to tinker around and experiment with.

Dude... let me give you some good advice... A credit card, alcohol and eBay are never a good mix... I have 3 George Forman Grills to prove it....

Good fine, though....

@Richard R. Yes I totally agree with you about a credit card, alcohol and ebay, but the fact be known I rarely drink and well I would never do use all 3 at once :-} Someone on Ebay was selling the I-Sobot for a price far below what I have seen them, so I figured I would throw in a bid and well to my surprise I beat out 2 or 3 other bidders and I freakin won, I was surprised. I was much surprised when I finally had one a Omnibot 2000 robot several months ago and well now I have created a pretty cool build out of that. As for the George Forman Grills, I am a pretty damn good cook, so I will stick to using a pan and flame or even my grill outside, guess I am just oldschool :-}

not to get off topic, but you're right! Summer is here and grilling outside has begun:) I'm pretty stoked to start barbequing. I was thinking of getting a bbq for the office!

#5  

@DJ Well like I said I just wanted something to tinker around and experiment with, my robot Roamin is around 3ft tall, so having a 6 inch or so robot to be his sidekick might be a cool thing :-}

#6  

@DJ You need to work on a robot that will grill for you, I would think with your intelligence and abilities and your team, that you could come up with something :-}

#7  

Please don't recommend the Grill-bot.... those things are a joke...:P Who would buy one LOL.... But yes, BBQ season is finally here... don't forget the beer, though...:)

stonewolf, I won,t cast the first stone. I have been guilty of all three. Numerous times. That's how I found EZ Robot! I enjoy this forum! L.O.L. Great comments and feedback. I looked online and it looks like a cool robot. 17 degrees of freedom. The movement looked promising. It looked R/C and more type controls. Maybe it can be converted to an EZB controlled robot? Looking forward to your discovery. Thanks for sharing, Steve S

@Steve S I will see what I can do with I-Sobot, just gives me something else to work on late at night when there isn't anything worth watching on tv. Ya just never know what I might come up with. By the way my name is Steve also :-}

@Richard R Well Roamin my robot could possibly be a good robot to grill things, but being that he is mainly plastic that might not be a good idea. This talk about grilling is making me hungry for Turkey Ham slices on the grill :-}

As for the I-Sobot I bought, I will probably be repainting it to match my robot Roamin, once I start painting it is hard to stop, plus it just gives things a better look.

My tip is be extremely careful when using it. The servos are extremely small and even light bumps can damage them to the point of breaking. I recommend using a pillow when it's not in operation. Other than that, this robot is pretty cool. have fun!:D

#12  

@Cupcakehat Thank you for the heads up warning for I do not no much about the I-Sobot, I have never seen or handle one before, except for what I have seen online. So pretty much what you are telling me is to be very careful and if I am not using it, store it in the box for safety purposes.

@nomad18.08 Thank you for the hidden commands, I will give them a try once I receive my robot. I am just curious to see what things a robot of that size can do.

its not mine,but you will love this.so cool:D

#17  

@nomad18.08 Thank you for the videos, it is indeed very cool :-} I will just have to see what I can do with mine.

#18  

That last video was so funny. The only thing that would be funnier is, if the dinosaur was purple (Barney). Very creative. The first video did not make I-sobot look too delicate. Looking forward to the possibility of an EZB operating it. Steve S

#19  

@Steve S I to notice that in the first video, the I-Sobot did seem to fall around and not break, I think it's just how you treat and take care of the robot. Now if you let it fall off a table or down some stairs, then yeah it's going to break, heck even I would to :-} I will see what I can do with it :-}
