This is my Omnibot Tomy. I haven't really been able to work on him much, but I've been collecting a lot of parts. I have the camera working now, even though it isnt mounted yet. The radar and corresponding servo is working well. Still waiting for Dj's motor controller to come back in stock to get him moving around. He's definitely a work in progress that I'm taking my time with. Im going to leave him yellow. I was going to paint him but the faded and dyed plastic actually kind of grew on me.
PS he has the other arm.. its just in pieces at the moment...
I resolved the camera problem that I was having earlier. Now however, I'm having trouble getting the ezb to connect to the computer. If I open a new project it connects just fine but then eventually has the same problem. I cant seem to get the ezb to connect while in my projects folder. Do you think its a problem with my blue-tooth or how i am formatting things? Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

it has been a long time since i have made any modifications to my omnibot. However, we just put in wood floors and my parents are already complaining about cleaning the floors so i am considering turning him into a roomba like robot (what a perfect excuse to spend money on my robot
my omnibot has only 4 wheels and a single caster in the front. I think they added the extra wheels on the 2000 because the robot was taller and heavier. the caster isn't the most ideal design in that when the robot stops it leans forward on the the caster and then rocks back down to the rear wheels
Great job on yours
do you by chance have a link to the gears and motors that you used? I would be really interested in quieting down the drivetrain
Updated with short video tracking to a red ball (must remember to video in landscape mode on my Iphone) The clicking is the servo driving Omnibots head
my first official print for my omnibot! I replaced the tape player with a panel that holds the sweeping and cliff IR sensors. getting rid of the tape player creates way more room inside of the body
I got the IR sensors all mounted into the front plate. now to figure out what i want to do with the upper opening
By the way, there is no such thing as 'just another omnibot'. They're all unique
For rotating, you can view the file in windows explorer, right click on it and choose 'rotate left/right'.
I made the title a long time ago when it seemed like everyone was working on an omnibot... But yes I agree that no two ez-powered omnibots are the same
My front panel lights finally came in! I have to print an upper plate that houses all of the lights but Im so glad this thing is prewired and will only use one digital port!
I got the upper panel printed out last night. I just need to add the the tinted plate for the front of the led's and the paint in the TOMY lettering
I will post a video of the lights when everything is all painted and mounted properly
I printed a new head mount for my Omnibot tonight. Really happy with how it came out and cradles the servo
Also got half of the front paneling wires organized!
