Does anyone have the dimensions, or better yet a 1:1 PDF/DXF/DWG/PSD/JPG/Whatever of the front panels on the Omnibot chassis? (Tape deck and clock areas)
I'm about to start designing my new front panels, I have no problems measuring and drawing up what I've asked for but since it's late and the batteries in the keyboard on my PC with AutoCAD on have died I wont be getting on to it until tomorrow, but thought I would see if this already exists to save doing something twice.
Feel free to provide any measurements you may have, measure twice cut once and all that
You probably don't need these anymore, but here are the dims for the Robie Sr panels:
Edit: Png file looked horrible.
I do need them so thanks
If anyone else needs or wants these, a zip file with a few documents in...
If printing the PDF make sure you have no scaling turned on, scale to fit will throw the scale off totally and it will be pretty much useless.
Great for planning the front of your Omnibot/Omnibot2000/Hearoid/Robbie.
Don't print these images, they wont be to scale.

Awesome Rich!
Is there anyone out there that could laser cut these out of acrylic/plexi for us?
Or recommend a site?
You are one step ahead of me. The DXF isn't working right but I have a program Front Panel Designer where you can design front panels (if it wasn't obvious). I'm going to make a template in it for Omnibot etc.
I looked earlier, it's about $20 for one panel, I haven't tried combining them to see if it's any cheaper. Take a look at Front Panel Express
$40 for a couple of spot on perfect, engraved metal or plastic panels, with holes for switches, LCDs, Sensors etc. isn't too bad in my book.
I'm sure there are more too.
However, what I plan to do is print the design at actual size, stick it to the Sintra (plastic card) or Plexi and cut it out that way with a dremel, knife, etc. (I'll do photos etc. when I get round to it).
We need to make friends with someone with a desktop laser cutter.
I've grabbed the online software to dabble with it.
I think for now I'll make up a template and router out some styrene blanks to keep me busy.
Once I finalize my ideas I'll send the design off to be cut.
Thinking of LCD's and such.
That's my thoughts too. Unless my dremel skills are up to scratch... we will see.
