Well robotic friends, this is a first look at what I am building. Figured I would give you all a look what I have done so far. Its not alive yet, still waiting on my preorder and other parts I have on order. Please bear with me on the quality of pictures, still getting used to things.
Its a combo of a Rad 1.0 and a Robosapien V2 and a Omnibot 2000 and more things to come as I tinker. This is my first robot to build.

Looking good. Love how that Omni 2000 head fits perfectly with the Rad body and the Robosapian arms work too. Brilliant!
You really made all those robot parts come together nicely. Well done!
I see, I own a rad 1.0 my self and a robosapien v2 but I am not familiar with the omnibot I gotta look for some videos about it. Will you be utilizing the rest of your robosapien parts for a different project?
Bautista116 :-} Well the robosapien V2 I had bought off of Ebay was a paralyzed one, wiring harness was crap and well it had some loose/broken parts in the legs, I was just wanting the upper section and arms, so it was a good deal for what I was needing it for. Right now I am just keeping what parts I have, until my robot is done, then what I have left I will probably keep or sell. If you want to see the Omnibot 2000 you can find a couple on Ebay or you can even look at what others have done with the Omnibot 2000 on the site, DJ has done one and so have others. Tonight I have been working on my robots head, it's going to turn side to side, but I am working on having it move it head in all directions, with a pan and tilt system, just trying to figure out away to fasten it and well the head is sort of weighted. I got to sit down and come up with a name and also a color scheme, I am going to make this thing unique :-} I just cannot wait to bring it alive :-} I just bought a dremel 200 yesterday, it makes things so much simpler, when cutting and modifying the body and parts, I have been doing all of the cutting by hand and with a mini hacksaw. I am having fun building this robot, I am used to building and modifying RC 4x4 trucks, so this is very different for me.
Well I think I am close to getting my robot to be able to nod it's head and turn it side to side, had to stop and take a break and watch a movie and when I got back to my work bench it just came to me. I will eventually be adding pictures of the inside of the robot and all of the modifications and brainstorms I have done. I have some more things coming from Ebay that I should be getting, I might even start a second robot of some sort, since I am waiting for the V4 to come so I can give my robot some life :-} I would like to get an Omnibot 2000 to tinker with :-} Well I hope everyone is doing well :-}
Stepping away helps sometimes. I'll spend all day struggling with something and finally call it a night, crawl into bed and 15-20 minutes later more answers start coming to me and I have to decide weather to get back up or not. Usually not, I only sleep 4-6 hours a day so when I get to bed it's because I need to.
To second what Troy said, you put those parts together nice. What a great mix of bots.
That is awesome! I never would have thought to combine those parts in that way. I'm looking forward to seeing this robot develop.
Well one of the reasons I started this project was because of what I saw on here. I had never seen, even heard of some of these robots made years back, never paid attention. Well I saw how some of you bought and restored the Omnibot 2000 and the Rad robots. I already was familiar with the Robosapien V1, having owned one in the past. Long story short, I got on Ebay, I bought a Rad 1.0 and a Rad 2.0 for a really good price and then I bought a paralyzed Robosapien V2, just to see if I could fix it. I had them all torn apart and was cleaning them up, when I thought to myself, I wonder what the Rad robot would look like if it had arms and hands that would move, so being openminded and curious and not having a lot of money wrapped into things, I started this build. Then I just got lucky with the Omnibot 2000 head that I recently found on Ebay and well it fit right in with things. I have a couple of other parts I should be winning soon and I will see where things go from there. I think today I am going to sit down and work on a name and a color scheme, probably won't start painting until closer to spring, when it warms up some, my garage isn't heated :-{ By the time the EZ Robot V4 arrives with my other parts I have ordered, I should have things pretty well setup to start testing and getting this bot up and moving. I am also working on cover pieces for the shoulders, sort of tricky, I think I have them already, just got to take my time and custom cut them to fit. But hey it's just time, my dremel and some grinding and patience :-} I will probably start asking questions pretty soon, once I get into the harder more technical parts of the build. I like modern day robotics, but I also like the looks and designs of robots from the past, so this robot brings everything at this point in time together, the best of both worlds :-} I was wondering, where is everyone from on here? I live in Plymouth, Indiana :-}
