I got my EZ-Bot last week and this weekend I started with my first project. I got myself a nice Caterpillar toy:
And, as far as I can tell from other posts here, in good EZ-Bot tradition, started to disassemble it right away.
After just slight problems with dremeling, I cut a hole in the bottom for the continuous servos that will drive the treads. I couldn't believe how close the servos fit in there.
Hotglue the servo horn to the driven wheels
A hole for the cables into the cabin and we're good to go!

I really like what you have done - a robot can take the form of just about anything. I've been experimenting with tread systems for "Bob" who weighs about a Kilo. I'm looking out for a larger toy similar to yours to utilise the tread system.

Thanks
I looked it up and it seems "Bruder" (the company that made that bulldozer) has a branch in Australia: www.zimbler.com.au
Good luck with your project!
Cheers, Peter
@peterfrisch Very cool robot! That is soooooo awesome
Hallo Peter, endlich habe ich mal jemanden aus Deutschland gefunden, hast Du die Sprachsteuerung zum laufen gebracht? Bei mir funktioniert die nicht.

Hallo Sven,
Du hast damit auch Probleme? Ich hab mein billiges Tisch-Mikro dafür verantwortlich gemacht ... Ich hab aber auch seit längerem kein Software Update mehr gemacht. Und es auch noch nicht wieder mit nem Headset probiert. Wie sieht denn Dein Setup aus?
Grüße, Peter

I hope you get snow in your area. If its not too deep you could get the little guy to plow the walkway
Thanks Josh! I have a great commercial idea! I am thinking a pooper scooper ,something like a roomba except call it a Pile-E...(semi serious)
