Just got my ominibot in for my Sunshine Project!
** I was going to give an actual realistic account of every step of the construction of the project. But, when I looked back, it seemed to be a collection of Negative thoughts. So, I have forgotten all of the Negative thoughts and have edited them out. It is sort of like having a baby. It is painful at first , but once the baby is born. Or, in the case of Frankenstein, "It's Alive!" "It's Alive!" , you forget all of the pain and behold your new creation. So, I will simply record the steps that worked and NOT the ones that didn't. Many times after finishing a project and making all the mistakes, I learn how NOT to do certain things.**

Good news, I have made arrangements to buy some parts over the next two months. I hope to find that the parts that I am buying will include enough for me to put this all together.
God Bless All of You that will follow and Support me in my journey.
Sincerely,

That is a bummer Mel. I will be following your build. Can't wait to see how it goes.
The cost "420" would have been a roadblock for me when i see that price on anything used it makes me wonder about the sellers
Thanks, Guys for your support.

OK, here is step 1 finished.
I got a lot of parts in.
I am searching for a trash can . . . . .
Wow, that's too bad about the damage but it's great you got a partial refund. If you didn't I would have suggested a very bad review.
Naw, I gave him a 100% review because you don't mess with people where they eat. I had a problem. He fixed it. So, although he is not too happy, he gave me a partial refund.
Guess What? I took both robots BOB and Marti completely apart. I am using the Base off of Marti to complete Fred#2 which is a turtle-bot. I gained the base and I have been learning ROS on my QBO robot. So now, I have just about everything I can think of to complete the turtle-bot. Fred1 will be resurrected as Fred2 and then I will change his name to Freddie.
Now, when I did that, I also got some Extension cables for the servos, microphone, speakers, some sensors,notebook, ac adapter,two blue LED eyes,Nose and lips (Which I won't use),blonde wig,two cameras. two extra servos, a pan and tilt that might work on Sunshines head, and TWO EZBs so I don't have to buy any. Aint that GREAT? I will know Tue if I won the mimoimo monitor. If I did, I have a monitor that is work $185 for less money. If I don't , I have more money to spend on more stuff to put into Sunshine. Either way I go, I win!
Thank All of the forum members for your support in this project.
