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!

Got Bob's head finished up and mounted today. Looks pretty good on an omnibot.

that's a little bit of flexible duct I used to fill in the neck gap.

This week I got the filling and sanding and painting completed on the tank topper so I could mount the torso onto it. This weekend I hope to finish the drive section.

Nice that looks soon good man. How are ya going to turn the waisted? Yes my robot is getting nervous just seeing yours;)

I know right! We really need to convince another member or two into making a air soft battle robot. Heck I would even provide a robot to mod and a air soft gun. This is the June maker faire we are talking about.

To make my torso rotate with a servo I had to do a little work. I made a mounting bar out of aluminum flat bar and drilled it out to fit a servo horn. Then I tapped to mounting holes with 10/32 threads.

I secured the servo horn to the bar with self tapping screws.

Then I secured the bar to the tank base with machine screws.

THen the servo just attaches as usual and sits up in the torso section. I will stabilize the servo to the torso so it won't turn unless the torso turns.
