i just got my omnibot 2000 from JOSH while back and got a chance to take him apart and start the modding
first i am working on the base,i am adding tracks with floor inserts,so that he can move on tile floors and carpets.,these tracks are easy to use and add on and can move up to 60 lbs,will be posting photos ,parts lists in a few days
software using will be my AI SOFTWARE
i guess will tell you the tracks i am using its from VEX ROBOTICS
vex robotic tracks now if using a floor and carpet or rugs or both
for up to 60 lb load need 4 motors if 30 lb 2 motors
vex robotic high torque motors
plus frame kit and few parts whats great about this design if you dont want tracks add wheels very simple change so you are looking at a universal wheel design add-on latter are optical feedback this design fits perfect without many changes to omnibot body i have tried lynxmotion tracks,but lot of changes then need to make a track base not universal and not great on floors,i have both track designs
I am looking forward to seeing what it looks like. I like the tracks.
great thing about these tracks over lynxmotion tracks besides what i said before ,easy to make tank tracks using the included bogie wheels instead of having a flat track system you can adjust the front of the tracks up a little to make climb on to carpet from floors thats what i am adding to mine ,10'' by 11'' frame fits perfect on the bottom and the tracks fit inside the large holes for the old omnibot wheels,with very little cutting and filing i am using a 4 wheel drive system with each motor has a clutch JUST about ready for PHOTOS

I'm a big fan of treads and look forward to seeing omnibot cruising around on them. Our tank base arrived today and after some modifications , Bob zooms easily between the floor boards and carpet. These 1/16 scale tanks have 2 speeds and really pack some power easily pushing around Bobs 1.6 Kilos of tin, wires and plastic.
when i had mine on my vex robotics design was able to carry over 70 lb (31.8 kilo's) tanks make great bases for small robots ,hope to your's too
Looking forward to seeing this tank drive. Thinking about getting one from VEX.
will post photos of it on the omnibot
also as you can see the green tracks has grooves in it for carpet or rugs and the gray tracks has a flat surface for floors will put up a parts lists of all the parts,with part #
yes...yes...parts list please
Looks Great!
When you have time could you tell me what are the overall dimensions of this chassis? L x W x H
Thanks,
Rex
10 by 11 inches ,
1-chassis 276-1033 need to cut it down some for 10 by 11 inches 4- 2 wire motors 276-2177 unless you only need 30 lb of load you need 2 of them 1-track threads kit 276-2168 1 track upgrade kit 276-2214 dont need it unless using it for floors too 1- bearing flat 276-1209 10 pack ,need 8 of them 2- clutch 276-1098 3 to a pack need 4 1-drive shaft 276-1049 cut to length for all motors 1-shaft collar 276-2010 1-bearing pop rivits 276-2215
will be adding fenders latter also not mounted yet ,need a little trimming and filing but it gives you more room in the base as you can see tracks can be removed and vex wheels can be added very easy
almost forgot the ling to get the parts vex robotics parts
