@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.
