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
Can't wait!
arms can lift over 200 lb each ,but using much much less,need add a gear box for the feedback pot bearings fit pefect in shoulder
here is photos of my arm design
started making the frame ,i cut the peices ,now as soon as i get my machine shop tools in ,can finish it mostly waiting on my belt sander to come in tuesday,rest of the 16 other machine tools comming in before christmas,my milling machine came in last friday
so hope to post photos before the weekend
update on my omnibot progress,i got my table belt sander in and my grinder in today a lot early then they said so first thing tuesday morning will sand down my plastic peices and my aluminium angle for my body arm frame ,and use rivets and tap holes for some screws should be able to post PHOTOS wednesday the motors above are mounted to the frame looking not to mount any sensors ,lcd or boards to the omnibot plastic shell ,instead mount to my aluminium frames,this way the covers come off super easy for quick repairs or adjustments
I was looking at your parts list for the tread base that you made for your Omnubot 2000 and the pictures. Where did you get the 4 large plastic spacers that hold the center base to the tread structure? There are two in the front and two in the back. They are not listed in your parts list.
i guess you meen the arm gear box,that white spacer is a gear for my feedback pot 1-1 ratio i did change it it use a little bigger gear,since they are ony the size i had at the time.
it will have a plate on the top of the gear box and the pot mounted off to the side of the gear box
or the tracks design using the green rollers,they come with the TRACK TREAD kit it uses 2 rollers on both side,from vex robotics part # for tread tracks is 276-2168.
looking to get back to workng on the design,also making a lynxmotion johnny five project i need to try to get most of it done first,but while waiting for parts i work on this project too.
getting for a update of my aluminium box to hold my arm gear box on
These shoulder motors look really good! How fast do they move 90 degrees?
(fyi mean not meen. Not a word.)
