Hi Guys,
I still have my Omnibot project just sitting for the moment, I really wanted to buy the EZB to have in an Omnibot 2000. Well today I went ahead and picked up this guy and brought him home.
Will do a work in progress post with this one and hopefully try and up date it as the project takes shape. First steps will be cleaning.
Enjoying the ride in the Jeep:
Thanks Wayne

Fyi i bought 8 1501mg servos. good torque for being so cheap. Removing all the complicated gears and little motors frees up alot of weight. Plus servos are a contained unit and plug up to ezb. They are easier for sure. Using the stock motors and gears you need a hbridge for each one and still run the risk of original gears breaking. servos is for sure the way to go especially since they give feedback on position.
Great help on the servo's
I have some R/C ones I know have high Torque so I may use some of those but we'll see. I worked on cleaning up my work area to begin working on the project and hopefully will have some updates later.
Oh, I took some pics of the box today. Not sure if there could be some variants out there but I did notice my Omnibot has TTC in the front and not Tomy. The TTC logo is on the front of the box but he does say Tomy on the bottom. I think Tandy distributed this one originally? Anyway, that is the collector talking and not the Robot hacker.
Hi there! Could you send me a message to my email or send me your email so I can message you? Mike
When are you going to post some hacks mike?
Haha
- good question, right now I am just trying to get some spares together for my robots to fix them up. I am studying for my final exam - to make the last six years of college worth it. Once I got it over with that, I will think about my own hacked robot, but first I will have to get the spares for the robots in my collection.
Wayne, Mike, Josh,
That model is one of my Favorite robots. I will be watching closely. Happy Modding!
Ya-vole! (If my German is correct.)
:D

Nice. The co-driver must speak too much.
