Just Another Omnibot

thank you for the kind words!

I had to take the rubber bumper off because it was cracked and falling apart. I would definitely be interested in the plastic piece and new tires. I will have to email you when i get home later.

I'm not sure how the white from pieces would look. Are they from your 2000? I don't know if that would be too much white or not

Thank you for those video links. I was thinking of mounting them in a similar way. It really helps to see it done before you go hacking it up haha

I actually copied your idea for the lights After I saw it on your thread i went searching and found them at the 99cents store. I used a light sensor to activate them whenever he goes into a dark room. They don't do anything for the camera but it sure looks cool

the biggest problem I am having right now is keeping up with all of these updates to ARC! I'm not a programmer so its all a little confusing terminology speaking. But i usually understand the idea.

I think i am going to scrap my existing project and start fresh with all of these new features (if i can remember what they all are). i feel like it would be too confusing trying to convert everything over and end up getting lost/frustrated

Cool thats awesome. Your welcome to steal any idea you want lol. Helping others with their robot is just as fun if not more than building my own! i think the matching tape deck and computer panel around where the lcd is would clean up the look. You worked really hard to make it look good it might ad well match. When you email me ill send back pics of the parts. I have pics of treads but i make those to order. As a matter of fact i will make yours red to match your robot for no additional cost. I make mine from silicon so they wont rot and stay elastic and will not scratch your floor.

Nice job on your omni it looks sharp with the red accents. I'm just getting started on my omni and will also be doing attilt pan head set up. How did to get the cuts so clean around the head?

Thank you

The best part for me is that the red is vinyl. if I get bored of the color I can always replace it with another.

I used a Dremel with a sanding drum. It took a little while but im happy with how clean it came out. My omnibots head doesn't really move all that much vertically... I may try and find a way to get more articulation. The pan/tilt assembly on the head makes a huge difference for the robots personality!

I agree with you on the head making a huge personality difference! here is the white bezel and tape deck i havent whipes them off or cleaned them. The sticker arrangement and tomy logo are the same so it.keeps the.tomy style but makes it cleaner.

@robot56 do you still have the omnibot dome? I have been looking for one.

Coolest addition to my project yet! Thank you jstarne1
