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.

What type of run time do you think you will get out of the batteries? This one amazing build I can't wait to see the video of the test.
Thanks man , IM super interested in yours with that omnibot. Runtime will vary based on if Jarvis is vacuuming because how much power the vacuum takes. Without the vacuum I am shooting at 4 + hours runtime . Really only tests will show the actual battery life. Sam is running 3 12v 7ah batteries 3 to 4 hours before she shut it off and her battery gauges read 50 percent battery. IM so excited to see the base move I will probably epoxy in the axles when I get off work tonight and let it sit overnight for full strength.
Yesterday I had the thing on for about 7 hours, not sure how batteries where my friend took his tester thingy home.
Have you tried out that converter on your screen? I think I got one of the same ones. I'm gonna have two screens. I haven't had the chance to try it yet.
Josh it sounds like you are getting so close. It's very exciting.
What motherboard and cpu do you have? Hopefully we will get our highly modified omnibots to have a all day or all night run time. How great would that be!
You will have both screens showing the same thing?
I did a tiny bit of planning work tonight before bed. I cleared away dynamat from the axle area so that it can be epoxied and reinforced with fiberglass Matt. Here is a picture showing the areas I want to epoxy and one showing the material removed. I really want to get the tips of the rods very well. This poses a challenge because the wheel must be on the axle when I permanently attach it.
Josh I got this mini itx.
I am thinking each will be different. One will display monitors etc. Then the other will be used as the working desktop.
