Hello All!
Omnibot #1 arrived today.
I'm still waiting on Omnibot #2 to arrive. Soon hopefully.
Going with a Black / White Spy vs Spy theme.
The wife and I decided on their personalities. The "evil" black Omnibot will have Mr. T audio clips and the white "good" Omnibot will have Pee Wee Herman Audio.
Here are some quick pics. The electronics were DOA. Thankfully the drive motors are all good.I want to preserve the original look of the front so I gutted everything. Clipped off the front of the PCB to preserve the switches. This Omnibot will be wet sanded and painted white.
I'll be adding a few things along the way. Fricken laser beams too!

Stare into his eyes!

@cybersarg congrats , start your own thread , post your ideas of what you want your robot to do and look like , what color you want ect. There's lots to do with omnibots and there are several people here nodding them.
I love your head mount set up, I only wish I had been as clever with B.O.B. Check out my omnibot build, I have some pretty good instruction on mounting high torque servos for the arms. B.O.B. Finished
B.O.B. Work in Progress
Hey Bret,
Checked out your pics.
Looks good. I'm going to get some heavy duty servos on the go either way.
I'm looking either to do direct drive like yours or maybe something a little out of the box.
I'm looking at these Servo City Shaft Couplers then just drilling straight through the arm pivot point. Epoxy in a shaft and connect to servos.
I could mount the servos to the cassette internals fairly easy.
Just not sure of torque and strain?.
It's just a thought for now. Your type of setup is probably the simplest/smarter route to go.
Didn't get much done on the Omnibot's lately.
Still working on a game plan for the arms. Not sure if I need heavy duty servos or not?
Wired up power switches and charging port.
Just about ready to paint. Weather is going to be good for the next few days.
Scored some Wii remote (Clones) for $5.00 at the local Liquidation World. One for each of them.
A quick vid of armless MrT. giving me attitude. L298N motor driver via Wii works great.
Hello,
Received my replacement MP3 module and 3 more today.
These modules are great for simple robot projects. Simple and easy to setup in ARC.
Supplier replaced my (1) dud free of charge, no questions asked. My other one is still going strong in Omnibot#2.
They sent along these pots. Still not sure what they will do for me.? My amps are adjustable.
