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,
Mel Addison

@Josh, the Master of the Universe of Knowledge on the Omni-2000 robot. I'v a question 4-U, Master:
I have two wires coming from the left motor and two from the right motor. Are those all I need for a double H-bridge? Or should I use the rest of the other little wires going to the little circuit board and then to the main board, I guess.
Thanks,
Mel

@josh, where do you think I need the Dynamite?
Love the vintage robots!
Probably a little late now, but I have had decent experiences with UPS in terms of getting insurance money for repair of damage products. If something arrives damaged you have to take lots of pictures and document everything. Took about 1.5 months for me, but it certainly helped. (This is all assuming the insurance value was filled out correctly.. but thats a different story)

Finally got the right trash can. It was a Mainstay 5.5 gal from Walmart.

If you paid by paypal, and I hate it when people do this to me but may as well put it out there, paypal protects the buyer, if it comes broken it is down to the seller to sort it out or paypal will refund the buyer. I fell short on this a few times which is why now I always ensure items are insured when sent.
May have just been my experience, but paypal wasnt any help as it was a 3rd party that caused the damage. (As it was obvious by the damage to the boxes) Insurance is a must for any package for me though, certainly worth the extra dollar or two!
Looking forward to the next update.

yep! You are right.
I won the bid on the monitor. So, I now have a mimo touch screen on the way.
