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 had to retread the wheels to.ensure that when the v.acuum is fibreglassed into place. Permatex glue was used to affix the rubber to the rim.

Okay I emptied two tubes of epoxy resin adhesive around the edges of the vacuum power head. , I first roughed the surface with 60 grit sandpaper. To ensure it didn't drip through I ran a bead on the opposite side of hot glue. Then covered that with some masking tape. The epoxy goes all the way around and thickness is between 1/8th and 1/4" thick. The only area I did not epoxy was the center where the hose must go through I will seal this up later.
I put the base on flat glass to ensure the original wheels and vacuum wheels are perfectly inline and level. It rolls very smoothly with little to no resistance.Josh. I love the black treads. Look like casts from originals! What is it, though??? From where can i get it? Mike
about a beer fetching robot,was i just noticied that omnibot wont really get a beer stress stress stress because he is not high enough,unless you have a mid size refrigerator or bar type i found out mine has 21 inches to center of the arm to the ground with 3 inch rise i need to add to it AND JOSH should be about the same height (may be inch or 2 more)with tracks i added 3 inches plus riser 3 inches so total 6 inches extra JOSH do you have a mid size refrigerator,
on a normal refrigerator you need your robot to be 3 feet from center of arm to the ground for him to reach the beer on the bottom self
Hey Josh,
Ok so for the bottom I think you can get these. May need to get a few and put them together. https://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/118/3267/=ij6yqc
This way the bottom you will be able to screw off.
Can you send me some pics of the top from the bottom? I want to see what it looks like.
I played with a few ideas last night and it may work depending on what your top looks like.

@mike I used liquid rubber tooldip to coat the original treads with fresh rubber @robotmaker I will probably set up a beer fridge specifically made for Jarvis , the door may open by itself , as of right now his chest center is 30 inches tall.
Mike just search rubber tool dip. I'm soooo excited I got the vacuum case epoxied in , now for the torso riser and minor details.
wounder how your is much bigger with 3 inch tracks its higher then stock omnibot 16 inches to center of arm shoulder and you only added 7 inches or did you add a bigger riser tooldip can get aqt home depot,amazon and other places also
