I wanted to share the start to my Omnibot build. Turns out the OQO-02 covers the tape deck and clock hole nicely with just a bit of dremel plastic melting.
Now imagine it all painted gloss black and a small servo controlled door covering the keyboard keys? I want it to look like Omnibot's evil twin.
Some other ideas i have to put into this little guy are.
Have him and OQO run off a 12v SLA battery
Hack apart a small battery charger like my Triton 2 and be able to charge battery's. Id just say charge this battery and a little door opens for nicad's and the charger turns on or maybe a plug near his hand he can walk around holding a lipo while hes charging it?
Maybe embed a little cheap multimeter into his body where a small door opens and shows the screen?
I would welcome any ideas you guys can come up with..

Yes hoolagen1 thats the way it works. Im not sure how the camera will show up yet but i will test it out soon
Thanks allot Creativita I don't have any skill and im not very smart i just want to try hard so it will be half as nice as all the other bots on this site.
double post we should all ignore
Well i thought i would share my progress on Omnibot. I have allot more work to do but have his battery's wired in and he can charge all my nicads and lipos himself now..... his head is chopped down and somewhat in the place it will most likely be. he has a plazmatronic brain lol... his 3watt amp and speakers are in place I may make them able to be internally plugged in then also external jacks so when i turn him into fancy docking station he will have better stereo sound?
I have allot of work left like building his arms and putting more of his guts together but work on him has slowed down due to more hours at my job but i just wanted to share more progress so you see im still working on him

Man, your bot is looking pretty epic! Nice little LCD character display addition, and plazmatronic brain! Definitely a sleek and sexy look, that's some pretty crazy hacking, Nioce work!
Geez it is hard to even see the oriignal omnibot in your hack. So many modifications and done well too. You've really updated that old toy into a wicked futuristic robot.
I did the track u were playing too
Well my first day off in a while i got rite to work finishing the arms and head on omnibot.
I think he is moving fairly nicely i will need to tweak a few of the linkages to make his arms move smoother. His arms will be a bit more tucked in to his body once i figure out how much more plastic i can remove.
still lots of work ahead.
I need to build him some hands and put his fake eyeball on, paint his head and put his H bridge in but he is turning out nice and i cant wait to tape him up for his final coat of paint....
hers his first moves....
BRW nice job!
Very
It's pretty awesome how quickly you guys put me to shame with your builds! I love it!
