@troy I got the sensors! Same time as the batteries and the EZrobot camera:)

Ok before calling it a night I worked on the bot about a hour. I installed a set of fans in the tray hole that was originally the slot for the drawer. I have a slim DVD drive but I have a unrealistic urg to put in a full size DVD/ blueray I have. I really like the front curve of.the base.

Stuff I still need to.install that must have a body.modification before paint....

Hp 2 inch speakers , USB driven Hp DVD drive 5.25 Thermaltake 400 watt PSU Vent holes for PSU on top riser 5.25 in fan exhaust out the back of base 2 holes for led illuminators Cut the groove for the vacuum on the riser

Mount the servo horn in elbows with epoxy

Mount.USB hub somewhere accessible...

Do a dry fit and sand the mounting surface for.the robotzone servo gearbox (i may need a tiny bit of trimming where the mounting tabs are)

Bondo and sand all non removable seams

@josh thats great to hear that the sensors came. Im sure you will find a creative use for them and maybe make more. Im not so sure how well the way i did my elbows will work for you under high load. Maybe it will be ok. Youre making mad progress!

Looking Sick Josh!!! Hey Troy, did that duct arrive yet?

#1421  

i got home alright,busy opening lot of my boxes,now can work on my 6 MILLION DOLLAR OMNIBOT 2000 PROJECT

JOSH so far it looks good so as i finish puttting up my large wall aquarium tonight will be putting up more photos of my design

JOSH on the gears you need,havent had a chance to check my other omnibots to see if i need them i am looking not to use any plastic gears in my robots,but if i restore it then will use the same plastic gears
was looking at your vacuum you are using ,and how tall your robot is ,looks like going to be hard to get under the table and furniture with that design

There's no furniture I have besides the kitchen table that even a roomba could get under.

Vacuum position- I've been thinking about it a while , I believe I'm going to carefully cut all the way around the bottom of the base and rotate it 180 degrees so the vacuum head is up front , this will also insure most the weight is bearing on the drive wheels. I'm sure this will be a pain to do , both cutting and reinstalling but I believe I can do it.

Troy- well I'm using the pololu 240 oz analog servos for elbows so.let's cross our fingers lol.

must a super low table,roomba works great,maybe yours is bad and one my sister has working great cleans her whole house without missing anything very low to the ground, i have 6 working and about 27 hacked ones going to sell soon for the turtlebot design ,i see it goes for $1000 without laptop and kinect,sold 7 so far and one to MEL,making so major changes to be better then turtlebot design

JOSH on your design you should of brought the vacuum head out about 5 inches in front another super good vacuum cleaner that has better navigation is NEATO XV-11 i bought well over 25 of them for the LIDAR and selling the rest of the parts fast on ebay LIDAR accuracy is very close to the ones going for $1000,adding a pcb for speed control and usb hook up,and ROS has a nodes for it too,price looking to sell about $150
