That's a spot I'm.looking.at. I'm gonna pick up some.light sensors in.a.minute and try that.out;)

all you need is make a voltage divider ,or can make a simple comparator circuit to have a digital output and switch digita l output when light comes on,all is needed is a chip,few resistors and a trimpot chip is LM311 VERY COMMON COMPARATOR chip

Hi jstarne1

Regarding the flashlights you are thinking of installing. Have you checked if the camara you are using is infared sensitive . If so you could make a infared flashlight out of infared LEDs . and the little fellow could see in the dark.

Ok ARC reactor being molded in and lines filled as well. I forgot I'm out of sandpaper so I'm running to get s bite to eat and sandpaper. 60 grit , 120 grit , 320 grit , 400 grit and 600 grit. Switch paper one after another makes this process easier. No matter what I'm looking at a couple hours though.

i thought the EZB didnt have heatshrink tubing on it,since all 5 of mine didnt have it on sandpaper why not ue a sanding disc on dremel tool or small sander then use 400 or 600 wet,dry sandpaper from work they gave me a good size box with all types of sandpaper,and some plastic or metal work i use thier machine shop,until i get my lathe and milling machine

Thanks KKeast , hopefully ill have this guy to a stage I can get paint done soon. Still have a few odds and ends to do. Tommorow the rover 5 comes and well double check how much trouble it would be to convert to treads. I know treads will cause my amp draw to be a tiny bit higher but I would also have great grip regardless of surface. On the agenda for tommorow-

  • make IR / white led illuminators

  • sand /shape torso

  • mount and mold WiFi antennas into sides of torso

    As you can see they are circular , the center normally flips up and ring is the stand. I will look inside and see if the ring is antenna too , if so I imagine there is no harm in epoxy them to sides of the torso and mold the outside edges. I the antennas being part of the outside surface is the way to go. Any thoughts on this everybody?

  • I must finish the blue dots for eyes. I must drill out a blue indicator light and put in a blue led. The current led is white inside it and shows up a blue green color I wasn't satisfied with.

-i must make a mount of some kind and joint with servos so the head can turn left ,right , up down. Anyone have a simple yet effective design? Help with this is appreciated , remember I have servos from the ezb kit...

-i must modify and mount the fan controller casing into the torso , then mold it in.. , it will be painted same color red.

  • I must also figure out what to do with my new galaxy nvidia gt 520 MDT quad display video card. I obviously would toggle the video card to power off when bot is running but this guy is also my home computer:)
