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
Me too!
problem is DJ SAID NO.if does have anything to do with EZB i cant post it
will post my omnibot design as i get it done
Let's be honest, Fred. He did not say that.
I was looking at the pictures of the tracks and noticed that the footprint is much smaller than original. Will this pose a stability problem when starting and stopping? Is there a way to get a larger footprint?
reason i use little smaller tracks is so i can add sensors and encoders on the fenders ,i am adding 2 large batteries will be in the center to keep it stable,second the track frame can be longer the frame parts you need to cut them down to size you want and same with the tracks you add or remove tracks to size you need,i found it holds up to 140 lbs ,35 lbs per motor ,times 4 motors hope this monday to form the riser and work on the fenders too
So the large end wheels cant be adjusted lower and still have the sensors and encoders? Similar to Wall-E in look.
yes,,but dont go to far to the ground ,you need ground clearance if you look at the metal frame it has other holes to mount the track wheels ,and the idler wheeels you see i have 2 of you can remove them and still the belt will be tight many ways to set the tracks,that one of the reasons i like it over LYNXMOTION tracks only reason i have lynxmotion tracks is on my johnny five robot because the frame looks like johnny tracks other reason is higher torque motors,encoders i am using are small pot type ,i think its optical design,but soon making a circuit that makes magnetic encoders have a digital output like optical encoders.it takes a few chips and havent seen any circuit on the web that can do it
hope to have some photos up on my progress made it so the mid section comes off easy ,where all the boards are and sevo's mounted to frame without removing the bottom first
