Modified Omnibot 2000

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.:)

The red wires lead to a couple of analog sensors that I had laying around to test the EZ-B ports: a temperature sensor, and a potentiometer. I tucked the sensors out of the way for the picture. The other circuit board in there is what I first bought to act as the robot controller. It will be coming out soon, as the EZ-B will be handling all of the robot functions. (That is, as soon as I can get my hands on your new motor controller when it hits the market :D )

If I ever do an omni2000 it will be a cross between this one jstarne1's! I love the height! Plus add waist twisting!

Pretty please add more pics in better light or flash , and a video of it moving , also could you weight him for me:) , you can weight yourself then pick up the bot and weight again , subtract the difference. I really want to see the little guy move! I'm looking at making mine taller as well and this info is invaluable.
