so you are going to use LI-POLY FOR YOUR OMNIBOT 2000 good choice,one of the best batteries to use,gel cells mostly good for large robots

i guess its a good idea to cut the pinion off ,i would hold the pinion and use dremel to slice it off i just bought another dremel to keep in the dremel drill base and have the other to do anything else

I have three dremels, one dedicated as a 1/2 in saw, a metal cutoff disc and third is my newest for general purpose. Lol the cost is high for the run time goal I have. I will eventually switch to lipo batteries but I would need to invest 300 to get the same 36 ah of of runtime plus charging equipment purchased or made. They are excellent but I've made my very first robot a epic first try so no need to further complicated something that can be upgraded a year from now. One of my concerns is the amount of times you can charge lipo, vs the power sonic gels. The power sonic are much for forgiving when charged too long and don't take any damage. So I will go the lipo route later =)

what i found the best tool for a saw is ROTOZIP its much higher cost then dremel,but a lot lot stronger dremel sometimes overheat and has problem cutting certain items,and a diamond blade is the best on blades too

thats i love my ROTOZIP,ONLY WISH IT HAS MORE CUTTERS AND DISC AND ATTACHMENTS LIKE MY DREMEL TOOLS

JOSH a good idea is to add pan and tilt by lynxmotion to your arms,that is what i am doing to my design

#1805  

Already done Robotmaker =), I'll post pics later

glad you are using them,use a lot in other projects,making changes on pan and tilt for mine

I am doing a pan + tilt for my radar as well. Great news! All the sensors I ordered last Fri from China came.today! Wow. Ultrasonics, IR fire sensors, sound sensors, volt sensors, extra. They were fast, and have me leads for every one of them.
