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.

DJ's Super Six Hexapod
You may have seen this video of a real large ez-robot hexapod... That is a robot i built over the summer at my cabin...
Rb550f's Ez Robot Attacknid
I started a new robot project using an Attacknid combat creature.The Attacknid uses two motors for locomotion,Simple...
Kenny's Humanoid #2
Hey everybody, its been awhile since I built a bot, and Im back to humanoids again lol. This is a cheap 15 DOF robot kit...
I think he used regular 120 grit and it obviously worked. Looks awesome.
does anyone know what type of the dust boot is used on the omnibot need different sizes,i whent to mcmaster carr and they have many types ,a/c duct hoses and vacuum hoses,but doesnt say to much how flexible they are
@brett honestly man I don't have that kind of money either which is why it took 7 months to aquire all the parts needed to get this done. Take in mind that I sold some things to make back money but after paint costs I have about 1700 or so in material. It's like 242 a month invested , but I did buy two ezb. I sold a computer I wasn't using and dx7 radio and spektrum receiver I wasn't using either and my old android tablet and my spare rooms ps3. So muchf it I raised money by selling stuff.
@sam I will take a pic of the sandpaper I was using soon as I get back from lunch to confirm what grit it was. Usually dishsoap and hot water is what I use but I had a surplus of baby soap.
Yup its my first ever robot , lol closest thing to it was a makeshift roomba way before roomba was ever thought of. I had a 12 volt power head from a rainbow vacuum cleaner , and a couple gearboxes with motors in them and 12v alarm battery. You should have seen this ,I was just 11 years old and just got my first computer a laser 128 w 5 inch floppy. I really couldn't understand controllers at all and internet was not available back then to learn. My uncle however hooked me up with switches and reed relays and that was the brain of the rainbow bot he just hit something and it reversed power to one wheel causing it to turn , otherwise it went straight. My body was made of stryofoam plates and cups! Lol
When I was in 4th grade I got blue ribbon in science fair for making a remote control blender for the kitchen , agian though I had little understanding of electronics so I robbed components from a old toy tank. My teachers had a parent teacher conference that I was a little too weird. And they were concerned if they made me upset that I was liable to blow up my teachers desk or somthing lol imagine your teacher actually meeting with your parents about that'! Lol.
I spent much of my childhood taking things apart but rarely did I build something that completely worked. So I guess Jarvis is ky chance to redeem those failed childhood goals. My two biggest inspirations were short circuit johnny 5 and the sci fi channels Evolver which was a personal robot that you played laser tag with but the robot use physical amo and had a paintball gun arm on the left side.
Finding a quick solution for vu meter , there is this kit and.says it has power to cascade or parallel LEDs in. Hmmm
look simple,and looks to use the LM3915 to me i love building boards much more fun, it like the same as robotics you can buy robot already made,but not much fun i guess for designing and building boards for over 20 years it only gets better and more fun,just lke a lowcost servo tester you can get on ebay $5.00 ,i can build it for the same price,but i wouldnt buy it from ebay,NO FUN
but great board for others not into building boards
JOSH since you like JOHNNY FIVE like me look at input-inc.com ,plans comming out soon (
) i cant wait
have 3 JOHNNY FIVE robots and looking to make 2 more and buy one for $1200
input-inc design is full detail full size ,full working robot ,just like in the movies
does have a very very high cost,but its like the same in R2-D2 full detail full size same in the movies,i bought the movie prop ,first one made from wood ,before the metal one was made ,one in the movies sold on ebay $100,000
WISH i had it stress ,i had the money,but need a bigger house first
maybe WIN the LOTTO 
Checked the sandpaper used....
It for sure is 120 grit 3M sandpaper purchased at Wal-Mart , and worked greatNice.... That does seem it would make it go faster. Did you use a higher grit after?
that does work with water base chemicals,its a fine grit sandpaper made for plastics,metal,wood and fiberglass
