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.

There are two sets I have , I'm going to modify one of them for use as a IR illuminator , most likely the large ones.

These larger ones I will custom make a PCB to power IR LEDs. A mix of flat top and focused.so why need both last post for a few hours,getting ready to leave in a hour,short plane ride to ohio
I want the bot to navigate the house which is always dark but it would drive me , my roommate and dogs nuts to have a bunch of bright visible lights. Night vision is not visible and doesn't disturb people. The lights being on is more for demonstration.
@josh, Im glad to help in any way i can.
I thought you were mounting all the way at the top of the shoulder. If so then the counterbalance won't do any more than add weight to the bot. I mounted mine between original And at very top. Not much gain there but also Im not lifting much.
I was very surprised that there was room for the servo. Just needed to sacrifice the elbow screw post or two

Josh,
Have you picked a voice for Jarvis yet?
S
No I have not looked at voices yet , how do I do that? Is there a voice store?
Ok tonight I'm working for Sam
I picked up some basic supplies , epoxy and plaster of Paris. They both have completely different properties but I'm sure I can make a mold with epoxy , I'm only concerned about it sticking to the original tread. So I'm trying plaster 1st. I cut off the tread carefully and glued it to the bottom of a box I made. Then filled it with plaster. I will let it harden till morning , in the morning I will pick up plastic dip liquid because my can hardened up from sitting a couple months.
