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.

TKOMNI0205's New Here
New here! Hi my name is Nick. Ive been following EZ Robot for quite sometime now. I own both Robo Quad and two Omnibot...

Markthebotbldr's BB-R2 (Baby R2)
I recently built the Baby R2 (BB-R2) from Michael Baddeley. This build was great fun and very EZ as the 3D print files...

Rb550f's Meet Tk
I have started work on my 15th robot project TK . It is 31 inches tall and has a 12 inch diameter base. Weighs 12 pounds...
Nice when you post it email me a link. I'd love to see it.
Robotmaker I don't know if you have been paying attention but at this point there isn't a drop.of hotglue in my.design, which I rather call mods because I'm nodding a existing toy. The only time I.ever use hotglue is.to block.off a screw holes when I'm fiberglassing it over or if I just need to hold something in place for a moment to check fitment. Otherwise I don't use that stuff , and the stud mounts are reinforced with aluminum tubing. The linear actuator for the claw is also all metal construction aluminum and steel as well.... So not sure where this "hot melting my robot" together is from lol.
I think the hot glue is great for testing but not a permanent solution. Especially for something like Jarvis.
Josh did I ever tell you that I used to live in TN? I was like 3 and it was only for 6 months. My Dad was in the Navy and had to go to training there. I got a picture in front of Graceland though....
Always wanted to go back and visit.
@josh, I dont think he specifically said you were using hot glue. I beleive he was reminding us that hot glue isnt a good idea and metal is better and thats what he is using in his design. Keep up the good work Josh. You are an inspiration to us to get moving on our projects. You do realize that, right?
@sam I agree with you. Hot glue is a good idea for prototyping and seeing if something works first. Having to make holes and after testing it doesnt work right just makes it a pain to fill the holes back up and paint. In short, it's like you said. It's not a permanent solution. Specially if under heavy load, use and vibration.
T.. you should not pump up his head too much cause then he won't want to talk to us.
J/K I said the same thing. This thread is what made me want to do what I am doing now. And is part of why I have a hard time remembering that this is his FIRST bot.
I just dont want him to get discouraged when he IS doing an excellent job bringing his vision to life. :} Each of us have a vision of what we want our bot to do and certain aspects are more important to us than others. For me...I dont need mine to lift much or to last more than an hour.
J/K is just kidding I was picking on you. :o) I agree.
I knew you were.
