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.

Here you can see 2 Videos of my Robots: and have fun
I still think I'd use the Omni motors.
The vacuum thing isn't a bad idea. I saw some home made ones online and looked at it a bit some time ago. Before I got my bot body from Robotmaker. It seemed simple enough.
Once you get design down and make copy. I'll be first dummy test and we'll build a site. My bf is a web developer and what I can't do he can help with. But here's my work one that I am redoing(still under construction)
Blue Eagle
big problem selling online ,anyone can use your design unless you have a patent kinda why i aqm waiting ,best is to place ads in robot clubs like i do and i sell many of them second it tell you the design will sell ,if doesnt sell well then not good to get a web site plus only ones that will buy it are robot builders,online big company will see you design buy one and make it better and mass produce them and sell at a lower cost and will out a pantent there notthing you can do about it,patents are about $3000 and up
That is a chance you take with anything. I still think it's worth it. Someone steals your design, make a better one. Even with patents someone can steal it modify it and reuse.
What robot body did you get from him? Both my arms are motorized but they are way slower than servos , plus only one shoulder actually works , and the elbow is broken on the left arm too. Anyways the claw and wrist for sure I'm keeping.
Hearoid Omni bot I'll text you a pic of my franken bot thrown together
Ok shoulder servos ordered! 400+ oz in HSR 5995tg 69.99 from servocity.com
Super strong servo! I believe the elbow and other movements I will use the polulu 240 oz in for 20 bucks because its cheap! This means three servos per arm. I agreed with robot maker I would like to avoid the tandem setup , I looked at gearboxes and such but they did not nearly have the performance vs price.
thats my favorate servo i use a lot,gears are the best,digital and high torque my lynxmotion johnny five uses 6 of them
you get the kit for $900 but i change most of the servo's to HSR-5995TG 400 oz ,plus added a mini itx computer and alot more
also about patents if anyone steal your idea ,you can sue for alot and alot of money,like someone i know did and win ,without a patent you will lose so you are just taking a chance
also on the gear box its easy to make one,400oz cutting it very close to lift a beer can,just might be able to lift the small can ,wine bottle you can forget about as glass beer bottles too but in a week ,i will post my simple gear box using 400 oz servo or motor from banebots and 4-1 gear setup for 2000 oz to 2500 oz lift power,if i use banebot i get 2500 oz and if servo i get 2000 oz
another edit to my post looking at my lynxmotion johnny five i made using a ssc-32 and itx board Be a super great project for EZB DJ will realy like me now about over 10 boards to buy
Alright , secondary servos are ordered from pololu.com power HD 240 oz in , 4 of them shipped was only 93 dollars!

I'm betting I gave all 6 servos by Monday , tues at the latest , fedex is usually really fast in my area!
