Hello Everyone! So i just began gathering parts for my first robot. I purchased a mannequin torso to use as the body. there will be a pc mounted inside the torso with a 7" lcd touch screen on it's back. I'm planning on using one of the robotics platforms from zagros for the base and i'm trying to track down an Omnibot 2000 for his head. I've been looking on Ebay but the full omnibot 2000's that keep coming up for sale are way out of my price range.. (can't rationalize $100 for a half broken one plus shipping when i'm just planning on using the head/neck). Considering how many people on here have been modding these and using them in their projects I was wondering if anyone potentially wanted to sell a head? I'd love to buy just the head/neck assembly that way i don't have to mutilate an antique or spend excess money and have a thousand parts i don't want or need. I was also wondering if anyone has considered 3d scanning the head and reproducing it in a 3d printer? these omnibots i'm sure are becoming more scarce and will continue increasing in value.. maybe some cheaper 3d printed replica heads would be something to consider.
Anyway let me know if anyone would like to sell me one! thanks!
@Troy So are you wanting to sell that head radio? I could use that on a robot project :-}
Oh sorry, that's not me selling it. I just found the link.
@stonewolf, There is another Omnibot 2000 that just came up on ebay. $195 with a buy it now option.
@Kullthulu Well I just bought that Omnibot 2000 before I came here to tell you that I will have a head for you when I receive it :-} I bought the robot cheaper and well the postage wasn't great, but not as bad as some of the ones I bidded on, postage is a killer :-{ It was funny when I read what you wrote and I already bought it :-} At least now I have scored a Omnibot 2000 :-}
That's great news! and yes postage can be insane! sometimes half the cost of the purchase. that's really funny that you nabbed it before you even saw my post lol.
shoot me an email at [email protected] and we can work out details for the head once you get it. Thanks a million!
@Kullthulu I will certainly contact you when I get the robot :-} I have been trying for sometime to get a Omnibot 2000, but I always luck out, this time with it being best offer and buy now, I couldn't let it slip by. Pretty much now I have the robots and the other body parts that I need to build what I have been wanting to do. I just need the V4 and the other parts on preorder to get things to come alive :-}
@Kullthulu Are you still looking for a Omnibot 2000 head for your project? I now have a extra one :-} Just to let you know :-}
awesome! yes I am still looking for one! I'm not sure if that was you that emailed me last night, if it was then i emailed you back. if it wasn't than please email me so we can work out details. Thanks a ton!
