Well I had to let it go ...the shipping cost was crazy high out here to the Canadian We(s)t Coast...but Bret has inspired me to check out R2D2 sites/blogs....though FRED's talking head using the kits servos and ez-board is first and for most. If the first EZ board goes well, which I am sure it will , adding a second board for more miniservos to push pull skin will be easy...ala Hansons Jules.

So R2D2 and the two OWI arms are still available. The shipping to BC in Canada was way too much for R2 so he is available again.

UPDATE - K-9 has found a good home with robotmaker and Verbot has been adopted by jstarnes. Unfortunately, shipping to BC Canada proved cost prohibitive so R2D2 is still here. So the following robots/robotic devices are still in need of good homes that only the EZ Community can provide:

R2D2 - fully functional interactive robot in excellent condition. Has can holder and antenna extension rod. $50.00 plus shipping

OWI Robotic Arm - fully functional robotic arm with gripper. I built this and it works excellent. It has 5 DOF and is controlled by the keypad. Very easy to adapt to an EZ-Board. $50.00 plus shipping.

OWI Robatic Arm - fully functional robotic arm with gripper. I did not build this and did not think it worked, but I just tried it and it works fine (you just have to press a little harder on the buttons than the one I built. $50.00 plus shipping

Thank you for looking,

Bret

OK, I'll just have to sleep in the extra bedroom with R2 (if he's still available). My wife will just have to understand that she's married to an addict. I'll have to explain this as a future present for my grandson (he just turned 2 and time to start him on the robotic path).

Email sent (again). eyeroll

I would buy the R2-D2 unit its at a very good price,but already have 2 and 3 smaller ones I hope i get the bigger house it has 4 rooms and large larget carport,my robots taking up much much room,plus besides K9 robot from BRENT i have 3 others comming in,and one is very very big EMGILIO robot ,that will make 2 of them i will have,its bigger then omnibot 2000 2 1/2 feet tall

DAVE my girlfriend thinks i am worse then addict,but she loves it and bought me a robot awhile back.

Glad you got the R2-D2 its a very cool robot to hack.

When i am ready to hack mine,i may have a few good ideas for you or maybe you may have a few good ideas for me too. Happy new year DAVE

Wow! It looks like R2 is going to live with Dave. THanks Dave.

But these two arms could be perfect to mount onto the top of your mobile platform - still looking for good homes.

Tell me more about the arms? I see they have push button controls. What voltage are the motors? (I assume motors, not servos so I would need to wire in H-bridges to drive them).

How big are they? How much weight and how large an object can they lift?
