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.

Oh yeah O forgot to tell you another idea.
Think 'pico projector'!
thats what i am using pico projector on mine,to watch movies on the wall
How many lumens is the least to think of using?
Ok here are some pics of little brother Omnibot and the donor shark vx63 vac. The original gearbox and wheels are perfect but I'm kicking around the idea of using this 4wd tracked rover 5 which would offer significantly more power and more traction to man handle the vacuum motorized power head. Any suggestions? Should I keep the original drive systems? Take a look...
I plan on having one 12v 8.5 ah yusa battery that should allow this guy to vacuum for 2 hours.
@glickclic 20 lumens for brightness,shows a very good video at 6 feet away i am looking at better ones ,prices will be high as you go up in lumens output plus adding a design i made to match the brightness level of the room
@JSTARNES thats not much amps only 4 amps per hour are you using a computer board on wheels i would add a strong motor for more load torque everytime i design a robot i weight everything going to put inside and any extra changes on outside,plus the weight of the robot with the parts needed then i take the chassis by its self and put the total weight of everything using like cans or something heavy and run using a power supply with amp meter inline with power supply and see if it stalls first and see how current to draws and then add weight little at a time to see when it stall ,and measure the curr e nt fast or use a peak holding meter,this tells me 3 things,how much current it needed,sta ll current for h-bridge and stall shutdown circuit and how much extra load can add to it
stall shutdown is very important,because you dont want your motors to go bad incase of a rock or something in its way and switch off the motor
all this will save you much time headaches and extra money spent
@robotmaker no I.believe I will only have ezb.in.the vacuum bot and control it from.my computer or tablet. Wieghing.the parts it looks like it will only weight about 12 pounds extra mostly due to the large battery.
that including omnibot and vacuum cleaner,i know motors for vacuum takes alot of power ,like in NEATO XV-11 and ROOMBA robot vacuum cleaner and its very small about 12 lbs not including a very large 12 volt battery like your use
also motors on neato xv11 and roomba are very good for robots ,high torque can handle over 35 lbs and bigger then one in omnibot,but will fit,wass checking the specs on that motor used in omnibot not such great torque,it will come close to handle just your omnibot maybe,when companies design robots the motors they use just barly handle the toy and just a little more ,only one good reason to save money
another idea just in case it doest last for hours is to make a low cost rechargable 7.2 volt battery pack at 3 amps for sensors and EZB and may be motors check my post on building low cost battery pack
Update on incoming parts , I bought a l298 motor controller , 4 of them from ebay but one has a broken peice , a little push button , I have no idea if this makes my controller useless , because I don't know what the little button does.... Any help here?

There's a little white button at the bottom on right , what is it?
