My Omnibot 2000 Project

i just got my omnibot 2000 from JOSH while back and got a chance to take him apart and start the modding :D :D 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

my 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

vex robotic tracks upgrade

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 like the track info you have provided. I have an old VEZplorer that I upgraded with the tread kit. I am hoping to convert the whole thing over to EZ-B and servos. It will be interesting to see how these older VEX tracks hold out. Any ideas on the original drive motor replacements?

vex robotics has high torque upgrade motor, the vexplorer you have is the frame i used on mine,motors take a standard H-BRIDGE or can convert to servo rc

#53  

well pretty soon will have time for all my robot projects my good news is going to fully retire,since i sold a big electronic patent design to a company and will be working on my omnibot 2000 project and many more with EZB and some with AI software design

So any progress on the omnibot 2000. If you arent doing anything with the omnibot 2000 arms I would love to buy them...

#55  

yes using the arms,i just got back from my trip,and looking to work on the aluminium frame making it so ,its very easy to remove the panels for upgrades or repairs,like the way HEATHKIT HERO is made,plus bought 2 more robots ,one is sony AIBO that sells for $2500 AND OTHER KINDA LIKE HIM will post photos in a few days

i have the arm gear box done for both arms ,next is to make a aluminium frame to mount them next is hands and elbow,design kinda close to the terminator,but using a plastic skin wrap around a aluminium body,each of the plastic panels will be easy to remove and all electronics and sensors will be attached to the aluminium frame will post photos in a few days
