I loved the idea about modding my own omnibot so i found one on ebay and bought it
My initial plan is pretty basic, just put in some servo's for the head and arms, i have an H-bridge for the movement and put in a camera.
I bought it for about $51 and $64 shipping, but I ended up paying an extra $45 on import duties (which I think is ridiculous because it's not even sold anymore) I just got the box with my omnibot (it was shipped inside a burger king box ):
Look at all those stamps!
thank you!
Here comes the head
What a beautiful baby..
Fortunately, he wasn't that discoloured from the sun so I just washed him and didn't have to repaint.
Here's the entire collection of video's. Please excuse my poor English, I wasn't doing bilingual education back when I shot these:
I'm currently working on renovating him. He was very poorly glued together and his arms snapped off. I'm planning to release a final video before my visit to EZ-Robot in July.

I would be proud of him if he was my son,good to see some schools getting young kids in to working and building robots,this is now the robotic age,even my neice like robots too
also forgot what is the make of the display,i heard something about sparkfun in video
What are you using to edit with? Camera make, Hardware, software?
just curious. It makes a really good video.
Thank you all!
@MovieMaker What i'm using to film it is a Flip MinoHD to film it. I edit all of the video's on my main laptop, which has an i7, Geforce GT540M and SSD. I edit it using Cyberlink Powerdirector.
@robotmaker I recently got a mini-ITX for free from one of my dad's colleagues, but the specs are lower than the netbook i'm currently using.
The LCD is a SparkFun LCD with serial backpack. I've replaced the EZ-B's bluetooth module with a Sparkfun USB->Serial adapter. I order a lot of stuff from Sparkfun because shipping to the Netherlands is really cheap compared to radioshack, mouser, digikey etcetera.
did you get the 1.2 GHZ OR THE 1 GHZ both work great with EZB and ARC plus WINDOWS XP PRO thats about the same video setup i have only using a better board and the lastest I7 core ,board takes 2 I7 core processor,
I'm sorry, i can't follow you. Could you please use punctuation?
what ITX BOARD did get was it 1ghz processor or 1.2 ghz processor and what windows software are you using
He asked if the mini-itx you have is a 1Ghz or 1.2Ghz. Then he said Windows XP Pro and ARC work great on them. Then he commented that his video recording and editing setup is similar to yours, except his computer takes 2 of the latest I7 core processors.
