Omnibot 2000 , Rad 2.0 Vacuum Bot

Skip to comments Jump to end

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.

I have the stock.omnibot gearbox and wheels

Ok I started molding the vacuum in , I put two layers on tonight , I will trim down the bulk with the dremel then put one more coat on to level out low spots. I will spot apply to cover any pinholes. I did glue the vacuum in.more places , I will put probably two screws in it once its done to keep pressure on the filler and seems so they never delaminate.

Yup , if I can get him back from Sam this weekend, she's been working really hard on it I can't wait to see it! I will start testing servos and the gear box I believe , the servo controller / tester is on the way , I literally plug it in and I.move it around in seconds so it will give me a idea of his range of motion. I am considering extending his forearms maybe a couple inches and maybe the wrist , it wouldnt hurt the looks since he is getting a 11 inch growth spurt lol. I'm so excited to make some videos of his arms and head moving around

@ Brett thanks for the hose! I'm trying to position the arms/ shoulder in a way I can cover it up , crossing my fingers this flex tubing does the trick!
