In very excited to introduce RC-xd Airsoft Droid. My little brothers robot we are building together to compete in mech wars for team EZ Robot. Woot! He is a modified omnibot with dual automatic airsoft guns. The base is a rad 2.0 base and EZ Cam mounted between the eyes. This is moved to project section now that i can post pics of what a full bot will look like.

Rb550f's Meet Tk
I have started work on my 15th robot project TK . It is 31 inches tall and has a 12 inch diameter base. Weighs 12 pounds...
Halbinath's Traxbot - My First Robot
I picked up a EZ robot kit a while back and it sat on the shelf for a while. I finally got the inspiration I needed to...
Pacowang's Delta Vs Quad
So its time to dig out of this winter mess down hear in Obamaland. I put the Quad Scout up until I try out a delta...
That looks incredible Josh! Well done to both you and your brother.
Thanks gunner! My brother said thanks too. Maybe one of the maker trips he will come along. He will be 17 by then.
Very professional looking. What's the plan for the chest area?
The plan really is to just put a blank in there i believe and maybe some ir leds
Ohh maybe a blank then a team logo!
Wow Josh! That looks awesome! And has given me some inspiration for Gunslinger Bob. Tell your brother he has an awesome bot.
@bret Thanks Brett , Im just now starting on Ez Robot and big brother is really helping me, we plan on finishing it soon and maybe I will start a new one. - Alequa
@troy Yea a smiley face logo is what we are talking about
EZ-B is very addictive!
@bret i know! It is contagious! I get direct emails from people wanting to know if EZ Robot is for them. Ofcourse that's a yes
- Josh
Cool looking robot. Yes EZ Robot is for everyone who wants a cool robot!
Very cool josh
What servos are those? They look great!
Josh,
You mention "with night vision" in the header, and somewhere else you mentioned an IR camera mod, but I can't find a post with instructions. Is there any more to it than just removing the IR filter from the front of the lens? Some web cam IR conversions I have seen have you replace the filter with an exposed piece of film so they are IR only (blocks most visible light), but not sure that is important with the EZ-B camera.

@Alan, Here is the link for the IR mod...

@dj these are EZ Robots High torque servos at 6 volts, servo horn is held to the guns with two self tapping screws.
@Alan hi gunner made a post for his "gunnerator" to pull out the IR filter. I will also show how i do mine maybe even with a video. There is no need to add a piece of exposed film. The exposed film mod changes the image to all grey scale and you loose detail and sharpness in the image. Just pull out the ir filter and use 850nm ir leds for illumination. The 850mm appear 5 times brighter than the 940nm when i compare them.
Incredible workmanship on that robot. Awesome!
@Josh, that's right, I forgot... technically the mod we are doing is a "night vision" mod... an "IR mod" (with the exposed film) is meant to simulate the view from a true infrared camera. Good call on the differences in illumination value between IR LED nm ranges... I didn't know that
@ Louis , Thanks man I appreciate it!
@Gunner , you i figured out the 940nm do not work as well the hard way , after scratching my head and some research i found 850mm is better. They cost more too, even on ebay. I bought 200 of them.
Awesome info on the night vision mod. Thanks. I have a USB IR cam with illuminating LED's for the big bot, but also wanted IR for the drone, so this will be perfect.
Alan
Nice! I want a cool quad copter with the Starnes custom spin on it. My roommate is willing to go in half with me , airport gun for fun and somthing special , watch fpsrussia quadcopter on YouTube to see what i mean
If its the video Im thinking of that says its shooting real bullets, that one is fake. An Airsoft gun could totally be doable if the weight is right.
Hey, any more updates on this bot? Videos of it in action? I need to know what my competition is up to...
This weekend I believe there will be , im waiting on the two ezb for the airsoft robots. Lol I really need to put in another order for 4 or 5 because I still have guys like jarvis that need his ezb too.
I had to get some netbooks to use as fancy remote controllers lol. I may end up using a joystick pad but a netbook will control each one. So far I have two netbooks I loaded win 7 on and are ready for ARC. The third is a samsung n120 and I need a new battery for it but I already loaded windows 7 on it.
