So I am finally to a point to report some progress on my omnibot hack. I call him BOB. I decided to change his color as there are so many white ones out there. I used a flat black with silver accents.

Soooooo, You're saying you filed down the "box" top of the servo and wedged it in the hole?

@RR333 - I actually filed down the hole of the claw to accept my mini servo. Then I screwed a servo horn onto the claw, then attached that to the servo. I did not have to drill any new holes. I will take some pics tonight and post them so you can see what I did.

Thanx. I assumed you really meant you filed down the metal of the claw after I had posted that question....lol

Okay, made some progress this weekend. I wired in the original DC jack to charge the battery and installed a cutoff switch to the alternate powered servos. The camera is functioning well, as is the radar, head, and arms. All I have left is the drive section, and USB Joystick control.

I love to see videos. I would try making one but I work.on the bot so sporatically. I only have my phone to take videos so I'm not sure if that's usable to upload YouTube videos.
