Trying to find the optimum solution for a robot that uses all the pieces in the development kit.
I am leaning towards a Fork of Zowi / Bob / Otto, the little open source creative commons (supports commercial license) biped robot. It has 4 servo's on the legs and there are some forks that have servo's for arms. What it lacks is a decent brain as it is arduino based so it can only do basic moves so I think the EZB would add a lot of value.
I printed a Zowi off and it looks like it is fairly close to what is needed.
Logic is use the existing HDD servo's for legs (2 Servos for feet and 2 for legs). They fit perfectly into the Zowi legs.
Use the 2 full rotation servo's for arms and add the camera and distance sensor.
Looks like the only major change will be the chassis design so it can fit the top of the EZB V4 and create some arms but the legs are pretty good and fit servos and the battery holder fits one of my 2S lipos.

Is there a video of you walking around like a 4 DOF robot? haha!
bioloid battle droid has same config.maybe you can check it there
is this a zowi robot ?
Yep with a new app. The thing I like about Zowi is it is Creative Commons but allows conmerical use. It easy to print and easy to integrate with EZB tiny (or an ezb v4.2 ). So EZRobot could put a robot together for an affordable price 4 Servos and ezb that I think would appeal to children. Easy to build, ez to program.
they are cheap to.by one and do a ezbv4 make over.
@Nomad6R where can I buy one?
found it on Amazon $69.... after Christmas
If anyone upgrades it to EZB, please post

Not sure what pre order means? Is that like going to a bar and getting handed an empty glass with the promise a passing inmoove may fill it.?
