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.

here is another good tip for cutting plastics,put your plastic or robot frame in water first and then place in a freezer,water help to keep is colder,but still can place in freezer with out water you dont wont the plastic to freeze to hard,and then when cutting it ,have a container of ice water to dip it in this process keeps the plastic from melting,also try to keep you blade very cold to,also can put in freeezer ,this idea will give you very smooth cuts almost like a plastic chiller cutting machine that factory uses to cut plastic wet tile cutter is a perfect base for making a chiller or plastic cutting machine,only change the blade med tooth blade ,not to fine tooth stainless steel saw blade,add ice or make a small refrigerator to keep it cold
Robotmaker at Tap Plastics they cut the plastic to size.
I am not sure what you are talking about as far as get a bigger sheet and then glue spacer to it.
on josh robot i see a line down the center,it that 2 pieces glue together and at TAP not are sizes are cut,online at at TAP plastics they dont have different types of plastics as mcmaster-carr does,they have every type of plastics made
look at the second photo he put up without a spacer yet has a line down the center also what type of acrylic is it,looks like low impact acrylic witch breaks easy if you look that the tensile strengh and hardness number
That strip is just cosmetic. To add that extra area like on the base.
The Tap website sucks. They have a huge selection at the stores. Plus I just went and got the stuff to make two 7" risers with the rode inside for support for just under $30. This includes the two - 2" pieces on the side to match the shape of base. And they cut all the plastic, with the exception of he rod. And with that all you have to do is score around where you want it with a pvc saw and then snap. I think it's pretty cheap and they give great service. Now this didn't include the solvent weld stuff. But that is actually cheaper now. I had to buy a new can and it was $6.50. One can lasts a really long time. My last one I hadn't used it in awhile and it evaporated. I didn't save the inside lid.
Now after all they trips they know me by name....
Josh,
Sorry, my back crapped out on me so you're going to have a little more work this time. I wanted to fix up the other body but ran out of epoxy. Need to find some more. Been looking locally with no such luck.
it does say on the site that you can call them,i tried that and type of plastic i wanted they had none so said the mcmaster has a much better selection,can i got was $4.50
what type of acrylic did you use for it,they make about 7 types of acrylic plastics
It's no problem , I'm sure.it will.look.great. I can't wait to get them.
SFOY does really good work,she a little like my oldest sister,she does about the same ,like stain glass pictures,and so many other arts and crafts,i found most women are good at it my youngest sister into making oils and lotions all natural,plus a art major from college i she also does stuff like that
my brother we call him superman,when anything needs to move its him who does like my old refrigerator he pick it up on his shoulder and took it out the door he won so many national weight lifting champonships about 30
He's coming home tomorrow....
Oh Josh, FYI I found that for finishing stuff on the acrylic it's great to get nail files for acrylic nails. They have a few different grits and you can get them pretty cheap at Walmart.
Robotmaker....I don't know what kind. They have a rack with sample sizes and colors etc. I point to the one I want and say I want these sizes....
