Just Another Omnibot

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 Aaron

I have no idea why the pictures are being formatted sideways? stress

Cool front plate! I laser-cut one with a voltmeter and ammeter. By the way, there is no such thing as 'just another omnibot'. They're all unique:D

For rotating, you can view the file in windows explorer, right click on it and choose 'rotate left/right'.

Thank you Niek! How is the rebuild to your omnibot coming along? Have you made any changes since updating your thread?

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

I've been busy rewiring him to make it a bit neater. I've also glued in my front plate and replaced the battery:)

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 :D

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
