This project has evolved some , the basic rundown is I'm modding two Omnibots , one a regular the other a larger 2000 model. I will have two ezb kits , rad base idea was thrown out because of so much noise but could go back on the table if the omnibot drivetrain is too weak to pull it.

@robotmaker
Agreed , the roomba is a very good system . But i find it hard to justify hacking up several $100 just to build another bots homing system.
$20 will build a beacon and detector pair. and the same again for the line following . And you get to do it yourself. Lots of satifaction there .
If you have a dead roomba then thats ok , i guess .

can easy get them on ebay for $35 and very little scripting and making a circuit board ,so less headache
Yes found them also .
I have a rovio with a northstar type homing and nav system , it is kinda tempting to use that, But i cant bring myself to butcher the little guy.
This is my favorite thread to read
it's like a news paper of conversation
HI DJ
We are all learning some good stuff here. talking of rovio can you add it to your list.
i hope to see it too ,DJ i have a ROVIO and getting EEG mindset headset next week it uses a persons mind to control a robot,ans software for many WOWWEE robots and ROVIO
@Dj thanks lol , I read ezrobot threads before anything else !
My favorite part of this thread is at some point or another a little of everyone from the group of frequent users has jumped in for suggestions or working out solutions that everyone can use.
I am learning very quickly but its just my first robot ever , I could see this kind of thing being a career after jumping into the robotics world.
yea me too,JOSH check the ez forum a few times a day giving everyone free ideas,like if a circuit is need ,more then happy to help out,i know just about every circuit there is about i did electronic work on everything,gfrom computers at best buy,pinball machines ,slot machines plus designing and building circuits for a company for over 18 years,plus tv/video repair for another 10 or more
