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.

Josh, after seeing your wheels stacked up on that paper plate, I had to take a break and go eat some OREOS (Double-stuffed). ha!ha!

:D
Lol funny , here is the mold and my first attempt at casting rubber treads.
Ok I figured I would speed this.process up and make 4 at a time because I must pour in thin layers at a time to ensure it dries all the way through.
everything doing good at my work in cleveland,can wait to get home for robot building i heard i got my asus mother board in,its a dual core atom 1.86 ghz board 13 watts that doesnt need a fan and company says tested at max cpu power and very little heat,has large heatsink uses pc3 1066 memory,so will be testing it soon for max wattage,and other tests ,size is great 6.7 by 6.7 and little over 1 inch tall,fits real good in a omnibot frame and may be others too
Hey Josh, looks great! I cant wait to find out whether or not it actually works. Pls post about it! I suppose the hardest thing is to fix these things up to the plastic wheel without using a too aggresive glue. You never know, you might have to replace it one day if the rubber doesnt last. Mike
mike you can easy add tracks made by vex robotics if you dont want to use the tracks ,wheels they have fit also different sizes and motors very high torque,once i get back from cleveland i guess i can see about removing my tracks off my omnibot project and put wheels instead and take photos what good about adding the vex robotics frame is more clearance to floor plus handle a much bigger load or if light load less current,plus easy to add feedback encoders also,for distance traveled and navigation mostly every robot design has motor encoders vex robotics motors used can take RC or H-BRIDGE on lyxmotion its a little hard to add encoders,but can be done ,but tracks cant be change to wheels and little higher cost,plus need to make a frame for the tracks and sprockets
@mike dc yes it worked , it does cost 12 dollars to make a set which is the cost of the silicone compound I found that worked the best. It took three tries but I got it
Update- ok since Sam is awesome and been helping me with the riser I found she needs a new set of tires. Ofcourse I already made a mold , the tool dip didn't work pouring it into the mold as you can see here.
Looks horrible , this was 7 dollar tool dip at Lowe's , it doesn't work for pouring into molds only brushing onto things you need to rubberize. So I set out to find something better for Sam!
Being a car guy I've used this a few times and worked great , its 6 dollars a tube.and I picked up 4 for the project.
Using a credit card I forced silicone into the mold.
I waited overnight even though.it dries in a hour or so
Success!Those look like the originals!!! You could sell them to omnibot owners!
