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!

That's a nice swivel. Where did you get it? Oh yeah, any luck with the sound trigger sensor?
Oh wow you really made a advantage , you should hook a high torque servo to it and press a button and it rotates directly to 90 degrees as a preset point. I like the idea. By the way that plexi bearing you sent me , where did you get it. I could do a rotating waist but I need a smaller bearing.
I got that swivel off Ebay some time ago and it has been sitting in a drawer. Can't remember who I got it from but they did have a bunch of them.
@Josh - that's my plan, using the AutoPosition function. Before I went to bed last night I applied some glue and screws to the front half of the torso to secure it to the swivel platform. Tonight I will epoxy it in place to be totally solid. The back half of the torso screws together as usual but also has 3 screws to secure it to the swivel base as well. That way I can take it all apart if needed.
Ya know troy you should make a mech warrior bot and remote control it ,
just saying that could be really fun.
