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..

I dont see how anyone is putting you to shame here DJ Notice how my bot still does nothing.... I dont have a clue about the programing part of my bot.
I have a feeling that the cutting, hacking, soldering and building part is the easy part for me and the closer i get to finishing him the closer i am to finding out how hard the programing is going to be.
I see your videos and notice how much your robots do and how much personality they have.
Nope i dont see anyone putting your builds to shame here...
Haha, it was meant with the most awesome respect. Everyone on the forum makes some pretty amazing things. I may cut things up and make them move... But you guys do it in style!
Do you remember the scene in starwars where R2 projected a hologram of princess Leah bending over to put in him some secret files? Yea me neither lol I think it was in empire strikes back..
Anyways.
I found a new gizmo to hack apart and stuff into omnibot a pocket projector. Here is one like i bought
Look Here
I works on 5 volts. Has usb and an av jack(RCA) a sd card slot also a built in speaker. Its tiney... my droid phone (thunderbolt) is bigger than the projector.
I had it playing a movie i downloaded off my phone. I had it playing live video from another camera threw the av jack.. Its not good enough to replace anyones home theater but its good enough and cheap enough to remove the factory screws and stuff into my toy robot...
I dunno i thought i would throw it out here and let you guys know i bought the smallest cheapest projector i could find and for what it has to do it seems to do it well.

P.S. Please remember your mileage may vary YADA YADA YADA and It came from CHINA so it must be good
Dude see!!!! Brilliant!! I can't wait to see a video
I will get a video going as soon as i can. Im having a hard time figuring out how to go about it.
do live video projection of someone in another room for 2 way communication. experiment with a fog machine to make your own hologram or ghost.
your welcome...
Pretty awesome. I wouldn't have thought of a projector. Pretty awesome idea for a robot.
Did you ever get that all worked out? Would love to see some video?
May steal that for my next project... :o)
