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.

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
