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 another idea the robot makers use,and i use sometimes is a split battery power supply best thing about split power supply you dont waste any wattage. split battery power supply is simple 2 6 volt batteries in series same wattage as the 12 volt battery ,but tap off the center for 6 volt electronics,by using DC-DC converters or regulators you always lose some wattage and tie all 12 lines in parallel if using the same amps per hour rating so only one charger is needed
i made a very current battery charger for gel cells,can charge up to 100 amps and up to 24 volts ,and is automatic,can set the output charge rate,output current and voltage also had a pcb made for it
Thanks Fred , when I am to the point of making the charging circuit I'll ask you about how to set that up.
JARVIS is comming along good hope this week comming up ,can get back on my,right i need to make 12 more computers for work,so very busy
Update , Instamorph 12 oz jar came in and the Robie Sr from radioshack
what are you using a ROBIE SR for, i have 2 its very small ,the EZB fits good in it ,motors not that great
Well I thought about using his head on my omnibot , I basically will only have ezb and a 6v battery in the robbie Sr. I bought him to give the kids their own project robot they get to do wherever they want to it and we build it together. I think it's a great learning took to get kids engaged , I've let them work on Jarvis some but I realize Jarvis is my baby right now as it has literally taken 8 months of building and planning. So this way they can mod however they want and IM not paranoid something would be messed up.
This is at robbie Sr , I will post up to date pics when I unpack him at home.
yep thats the little guy i have,one in fair condition ,just needs cleaning,for a full restore ,no EZB other looking at adding EZB as i have time,but so many robots need EZB is will be a super long hobby great to be semi-retired and in a year or two will have more money i need so FULL TIME ON MY ROBOTS ,as you can very excited of it,my step daughter not in to robot building yet ,only 8 years old but does like them
