robotmaker
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
have small carpets in my rooms mostly on the 3 sides of my bed,bathroom,kitchen,and living room and robot room,yes my robots has its own room LOL your wheels may or may not work on you carpet,but if going from wooden or tile floor to carpet might have a problem
well did more work on my omnibot project and ordered a lot of parts,will be posting photos up tonight and more to come name i think for it will be the 6 MILLON DOLLAR OMNIBOT ,since will be named after the movie and might cost that much tooo
photo of the tracks mounted,also area around the tracks will be filled in
this is one of the photos of my aluminium angle,and attached to will be 2 decks one to hold my itx computer and another to hold my boards,easy to make and mount very light and makes it easy to mount boards and other stuff,second to make it even lighter the angle aluminium frame with have rivets and pins,on top will have small sheet of plastic to mount my boards,hard drive,itx boards nd mybe power strip will have more photos up of my design
looks like i need to add a 3 inch riser in the second section where the tape deck is stress
Why? Post pictures
need for my computer little high when i have batteries at the bottom,with the 2 batteries 6 volts 20 amp each so 12 volts at 20 amps they fit perfect,just about 2 inches just room for my leaf board,unless i use one of my mini leaf boards i am making ,so with the mother board on top of the top lid not much room just about 1 1/2 inch then then omnibot gets smaller,so adding 3 inches height to it,plus need the extra 3 inches for other stuff in that area ,like my display the leaf board where i placed is perfect ,encoders ,h-bridge,most sensors,plus power then on top cover placing mother board and EZB ,SSD and display and more
when i finish the aluminium frame,that does both hold the batteries in place and same time my LEAF microcontroller board,it has gyro and accel,plus can add a compass,all software and codes already made,will POST PHOTOS WHEN FRAME IS DONE also better to have the mother board on top,more breathing space,less heat
How do you plan on doing your riser?
with angle aluminium frame and plastic sheet for deck,so it very light,strong easy to mount parts and boards and makes it a little more professional too
update on my progess on my omnibot project going home from my work trip sunday,and at home my girlfriend got many boxes that came in for my robots so on the RISER i am using polypropylene plastic,one reason lighter then most plastics,cheaper then any plastic ,easy to machine and very strong,to paint it use krylon fusion works very good for glue use WELD-ON #1829 ,one of the 2 glue's that will bond it,another is heat,but very high heat another is screws will be posting photos and part #'s and where to buy it also doing the same for my fenders around the track base
