JOSH thats the design i said awhile back to use and its about the same i am using only i am making a special gear plate. i bought one awhile back complete with servo,gear box and pot ,same torque rating just to see how it was made,found much easy to make a custom servo box

@Josh - Glad you got your goodies! I also threw in that gripper claw from some other robot kit I had. Thought you might have some use for it, the motors, the gears, something. And I think you will get a lot of good stuff from that Hacking Roomba book that can help you to integrate that board to Jarvis.

@brett yes! Thankyou , maybe I can utilize roomba features using this board. Do you know what the round PCB is that appears to be a kit? I'm so glad I got the 6v battery , I'm sure it will come in handy to power servos and such. @troy the gearbox kit comes with instructions to mod the servo to continuous rotation and has a seperate pot on the shaft. So it sees 180 degrees of final output shaft not the servo output spline. Check them out on servocity they are reasonable priced.

J... How is spacing in there? I am trying to picture all this with all those batteries. Have you had it all in there at once? Sorry I am a visual person.

on using the 400 oz its a little hard to to remove the pot ,plus remove small pin for the stop looks like you made the 100 posts ,hope to see it done soon

@Josh - yeah, that is an LED flasher kit. That way you can have some lighting that doesn't take a port on the EZB. Just build it, add some power, and see what the flashing sequence is. Note, I have powered 2 LEDs per output on these things no problem, that way you can get a semblence of randomness.

@brett that's actually pretty cool!
@robotmaker my shoulders are dual axis , so I can use this 414 oz hitec for left right pan as they are now and keep my three year warranty and get servocity to make the vertical lift axis robotzone servo for me. @sam yes I have made several test fits , at this point I can fit 2 6v lead acids and two 12v 8 ah lead acids in the torso without stacking them. Here's a older pick of first test fits.

Well I do know your bot body is bigger than mine. You also cut out the whole battery area. I am not sure if I want to do that. I kind of like the idea of a cubby hole.

I really cant wait to see him. Your project has been a huge inspiration for mine.
