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.

Hello all, I am getting back in the saddle making robots now that I am moved into my new home and settled into my new...
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.
