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.

that may work for elbow and hand,should lift a large beer or glass beer bottle at max torque ,.but wine bottle it wont,on the wrist part its perfect ,on my elbow using 400 oz servo,looking to do whats on short circuit movie when the robot poured a cocktail drink for the head guy in the movie,so i need more torque 400 oz it will give little over 3 lb lift hope to see you get them in soon hobbyking is mostly where i buy my servo's from very low cost
Robotmaker where's the pics of your bots?
Josh I am pretty sure fedex's main hub is in TN. We need some pic updates.
some pack up,but will take photos of others one is up in my avatar finished called sensor bot
Yup FedEx is based out of my hometown so is amazon lol. Hopefully it will be here Monday , absolutely I will post photos! I'm really excited. I gotta get my to do list together before paint but I feel it coming soon.
Alright , I just received the lynxmotion brackets for the shoulders and 2 hitec 414 oz servos and 4 pololu power hd 240 oz servos are on the way and will probably get the 5th. Brett has a care package including the roomba board and a 6v high capacity battery to run servos and ezb on the way also should arrive by Thursday. New motors for the left claw came in!
Parts I'm picking up today- led holders and misc today
Todo- -cut down the arms , make a mount for the elbow servo -cut down the heads neck so it can tilt easily -measure and cut the breadboard to mount the "visual voice indicator" blue bar LEDs -get a power on button for the pc -get microphones -do 180 cut on base -mold in vacuum to rear panel -build the riser for torso
These are the general things before I can send it off to paint , I'm super excited its all coming together.
so you decided to use my idea on roomba board ,very good choice so help you getting it to work better and faster,plus as a dirt sensor connection info i found about the dirt sensor its not analog ,it sends a special pulse by the micro on the roomba board and then reads the pulse back so looking to do some reverse engineering ,just to see how it works finding out sensors work is a lot of fun for me
also made a major major score at the goodwill thrift ,i got a small omnibot in box for $15 and a rad 2.0 for $7 no remote
While I was in radioshack the salesman offered me a phone for a penny , it was virgin Mobile so I showed him what I.thought of the offer... Lucky me I had a hammer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaBlou12i60&feature=youtube_gdata_player
