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.

Attention Lloyd and Brett , I mailed out your goodies , fans , dynamat , ir LEDs bla bla , you should have them by Monday , oh brett sent you one of DJs L298 H bridge motor controllers in the box too , I emailed both of you tracking numbers. Thanks Dj for the new video , that will get bretts most recent bot moving around faster.
Josh! you sure are doing a great job on this. When in doubt, make it taller.

@mel thankyou! And thanks for keeping up with the thread. 7 inches is probably how much taller I will make him.
@josh your great omnibot project it getting 100 threads
@Josh
Are the motors in the omnibot and omnibot 2000 the same .
PS just got a omnibot off ebay.
The 2000 motor is a bit heavier and about 20 percent longer , I imagine it has lots more torque. I did test the regular omnibot base with 40 pounds on top at 12volts so it should handle whatever you throw at it unless you underpowered the motors or get a broken robot , but I've not seen a broken one as far as the gearboxes go.
nylon gears not great,but still might handle most loads,dont forget its only a toy,not to handle very big loads or long time use, what i am looking at is using gear motors ,with metal gear box,like ones at banebots.com or robotcombat.com has,this way no stripped gears and much more higher torque
Glad you brought.that up , I plan to take out the stock gears and have replacements machined from lightweight plate 1/4" aluminum so there's no risk of breaking eventually under regular.use.
