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 love my college days ,i had so much fun and learning
Alright so anyways.... We finished cutting up the base and now did the first test fit , looks much better than I thought , I was originally going to recess it as much as possible but maybe the brush window being exposed gives the base a little more character.
You made some really good progress...
Ok I filled most.the gaps with some straight epoxy by taping off the backside and pouring from the top. I will add a couple of layers of matt and fiberglass to stiffen it up.
This second vacuum mod is more challenging than the first was. The regular omnibot base can handle up to 40 pounds but only about 25 to 30 on carpet so keeping weight down on this bot is something I'm paying attention to. Tommorow the junior will have a vacuum attatched to his back.
JOSH do you have a link to your monitor also why do you need 2 vacuum bots
I have two floors of my house and the robots can't take the stairs. Junior will be downstairs controled through Bluetooth and WiFi. The monitor will be connected to the mini itx motherboard in Jarvis as a second monitor that way I can individually control what it will display.
Josh, here is a haha moment:
When I was younger, I attempted to fiberglass my 17' browning boat. I spent tons of hours and loads of fiber and glass and it got all over my expensive jeans, the floor in the carport, most of the house, etc. I was very proud of my work. I brought it over to the man who was going to paint it. It took him 30 seconds to undo what I had taken a week to put together. I just never had any training or knowledge about working with fiberglass. Fiberglass is not my forte' . Nor is concrete. But that is another story that I won't get into right now. I admire anyone who can do this type of work.

Josh I really like the way it is looking. The vacuum heads look great, like it was meant to be there.
