This is Bob, our 3 ft tall house robot using the Ez-Robot kit and leftovers from plastering angle beads (lengths of perferated coated- right angle tin use to finish edges of plasterboard).
The angle beads are super cheap, can be cut to any length and can be easily riveted together. The big plus is the material is super light but strong. Bobs head comprises of 2 X 1.25 ltr plastic bottles. We are soon to retrofit Bob with Electric drill motors so he can venture up the driveway and down the street.

Hazbot,
I have Ping Radar and Ping collision. But I do NOT have Ping distance. Maybe that is it.
Thanks for your info.
Bob is now refueling his Lipos and getting ready for a day at school (running scripts) - Richie, the Charger I bought from you is great, I love the beep cut-off alarm and different battery features. These pics will be the last for a while until Bob gets his touch pad vest. I have really enjoyed developing and working on Bob. Cheers
Ooooo that looks like a nice charger.
Richie, where did you get it?
Haz... touch pad vest?

Thanks Richie, I will.
hazbot,
I would like to see some closeups of the shoulders. You took off the weight, didn't you. Now, how does it work?
Thanks,
Mel
Moviemaker..did you get your obstacle avoidance (Ping working - I'm curious). Anyway, heres a shot of Bobs arm and shoulder - nothing hi-tech but works great for wrist turning. I think R2D2 gave me the idea. The shoulder is a simple aluminum housing that holds the servo and there's not too much load on the servo that turns his arm (Richie supplied - can lift 5 Kilos or there abouts). The black rod on this arm is actually some used plastic sprinkler tube - that runs into an old Metal detector control nob that pushed into the servo at the end (shoulder). Down the other end the tube runs into an alloy sleeve that fits inside orange PVC electrical conduit.
