Since my original work on BOB (Bret's OmniBot) I have worked on a couple of other robots and now Bob is feeling left out. So it is time for an upgrade. Soon he will become Gunslinger Bob and sport some killer weaponry. Thanks Josh!

I dont know how to do it. Is there a way to rig a microphone to trigger on the hits on the plastic? Adjusted for only the loudest against the robot. Maybe someone that is an expert with sensors can make a circuit for that.;)

Explodes in laughter! Well see:)

So I got my laser sight mounted and all the wiring tucked inside the battery compartment. Then I drilled a hole in the battery door cover to fish the wires out.

I figured out the internals and put it all back together. I like the look of the laser under the barrel.

So this gun is complete now and looking pretty badass

Robie Sr. topper Josh gave me. I enlarged the hole in the topper and inserted the neck from my Rad. I just need to epoxy it in place and the head will screw right onto it.

When it sits on the omnibot it looks pretty sick. Now I got to mount my camera and paint it all.

I decided that rather than have the head rotate, I am going to have the whole torso rotate. That way my guns will always be pointing where I am looking. So now to do some cutting on OmniBob so I can make the torso rotate....

#78  

Started the torso rotation mod to Bob. First was to cut down the bottom of Bob - wish it was that easy for me haha.

Next I took my ABS and put some tape on it so I could mark the pattern.

Then a simple cut and I have a nice base to mount to Bob. I can attach a lazy susan bearing and the torso will rotate - Yay!

It's looking really good Bret. Cutting the base apart would be a hard step for me. I'd be worried I would screw it up. Yours is great! I'd like to do that someday with servo City turn tables and heavy duty pan.

#80  

I figure I can always fix it if I screw it up, or think of something else to do. So I drilled some holes and mounted my turntable to the base.

On the underside I have nylon spacers to clear the contours of the tank top. Then test fit it.

Here is a video of the torso rotating freely - it is just sitting on the turntable but moves nicely. Now I need to make the mechanism for turning it.
