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.

having some major changes on my omnibot as soon as my parts come it will post my project very soon
I was surprised to find out she had been looking up omnibot videos and watched a couple of DJs videos demo for voice recognition , then today she asked me to come over for dinner but afterwards she just wanted to kick back and do nothing so I could work on my robot if I wanted to.
Update , I'm looking for backup options and I see some replace their original motors with servos , are these still just as fast as the original motors? Agian this is just a backup option , but think the stock system should work. Ok so I'm thinking of ideas like using servos for drive , mostly because they are easy to replace or upgrade , and I already need to cut out the bottom of Jarvis base to fit the vacuum power head. If I did one servo per wheel that's 480 oz in torque per side. Is this enough to scoot around a 50 pound robot? On carpet? I do have the option to use two servos per wheel which is then 960 oz in torque. The servos would only turn wheels via a gear a axle would still bear the weight so there's no lateral stress on the servos.
The servo I was thinking of was polulu Power HD 240 oz in standard size servo , just 19.99 each.
Next on the agenda I'm looking at modifying the shoulders for the lynxmotion brackets that came in saturday , this should give him more range of motion , and clearence to keep from jotting the edges of the base , super important since this guy is getting a paint job. If anyone has suggestions how to do this I'm up for it , ir pics are great. This is the position I was thinking of mounting it , first servo vertical , second sideways as that's what the bracket calls for.
Hey Josh,
She's cute. Finding someone that supports you're creativity is important. I agree since my partner must put up mine too. One thing I do have to say is, dating someone that you know and have been friends with is awesome. I am dating my best friend right now (going on 2 years) and the normal games that are associated with dating are non existent. We never fight or anything. Don't get me wrong there are issues but that's better discussed off line. I do however do not think you should date because people want you to. SHE does seem to like you. I think all you would need to do is say so if you are interested.
How close is Jarvis to getting painted? I haven't been pestering.
I want to lie and say its almost ready lol , I still gotta do the center section , mold in the vacuum to jarvis back panel, do a 180 on the base, and mod the shoulders for the lynxmotion servo brackets. I think goals are important but I don't wanna rush either lol. I can't wait for paint, my buddy just painted his bike with the color Jarvis is getting , such a pretty color.
my new girlfriend loves my robotic work ,she very pretty, no fights over a year and bought me a brookstone rover robot
@josh do you get servo magazine it has so much much info on building robots july 2012 issue is really good talks about sensors and using too much also
i guess with all your changes you are making i guess it will take a few months (or a year lol )get it painted cant wait to see it done
Lol , nope not that long to get paint , but a couple weeks for sure , see i want the painter to paint all my brackets the vacuum and everything so I need to have all the body.mods done that I can plan ahead for at least.
