I am working on an old Omnibot 2000. It was in bad shape to begin with, so it didn't seem such a crime to give him a new coat of paint and an extra 8 inches of height. He is sporting an Asus t91mt multitouch convertible netbook. He was designed with a different robot controller in mind- but since discovering the EZ-B, I have changed plans and have one on order. He is pretty much a blank canvas at this point- if anyone is interested, I will post updates and take suggestions on the build as he becomes a member of the EZ-B family.

I think their is no crime in changing color and adding height. Cutting into them and reworking everything is what its all about.
Love the color too. I would like to see you update us on your progress. My bot is buried in the forum down a ways.

I myself am truly inpressed at the total project! I can't wait to see what's next.
Question: Does the wooden frame increase the weight significantly at all? Yours looks sturdy. I'd like to try and use the existing motors from my bot (if they work!). Or are you using different drive motors other than the stock Omnibot 2k motors?
Again, great looking bot!
Most of the extra weight is from the 9.5 amp/hour Power Wheels battery you see back there. I cut some of the old base away so that the battery sits in the accessory drawer, as low to the ground as possible.
I am using the original drive system. It still works well enough to drive him around. It is kinda noisy though...
You did a nice job at keeping it clean. Real clean!
What are the red wires for? It looks like they may be ADC or on the power header, i can't tell
if you are looking to a super good AI software called LEAF check out leafprojects.org
but adding weight can use many other light weight materials ,like fiberboard ,or aluminium
