Hi Guys,
When rummaging in the attic I found my old Omnibot with the remote and the original battery pack
The battery is dead but I popped in two double A's and the digital clock still works. I was too young to really understand what I had was more than just a toy (I was 5 when I got it).
Anyway, I want to work on a project with my daughter. She's 7 but she's taken a real liking to electronics after I got her a snap electronics kit. Can anyone suggest a good project and what basic hardware I should purchases (servos, sensors, etc.) to get started.
Thanks, Ali

HDD servos are the ones you want. The specs of the HDD servos are on the page that you linked to.
EZ-Robot Micro HDD's began shipping as of this month (February 2018).
Oh that’s good to know on the micros! I need some if they are just as quiet as the standard HDDs
They are very very quiet
@fxrtst - Don't pull the trigger too quick! We're still working through the existing micro servo inventory. New Micro HDD's were used in complete robot builds that started as of last week. Loose micro's will still be the old ones for a bit.
Oooooh now that's good information to know
Thanks alan!
