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.

Yea no mods at all its completely stock not even gear lube lol.
i see you tried my idea thats great ,i would measure the current too,carpet will always take more current on mine i adding much higher torque,to carry beer's and alot more,looking at adding 12 volt 20 amp battery or more for a very long run time,got mostof my parts in
and this week willl have my ROOMBA PROJECT done,with photos and code
then start on my OMNIBOT DESIGN
Tested rover 5 with 40 pounds , moves just as well as the Omnibot but the chassis flexed some under the weight. Otherwise it was peppy.

Ok here is the inside of.the donor vacuum.
There is not much to this vacuum unit at all! It should be fairly easy to fabricate it into the back of omnibot...
yep only a vacuum motor and casing,cam almost make one using a motor and a tube
@Josh,
Watching you work close here! Great job. I am looking around and seeing that I may the parts to build one simular....Love your design so far!

Ok I tested track system on carpet , after doing one 360 degree turn with weights the rubber treads derailed. Power/torque appeared not to be the issue. It appears for carpet use tracks are not not not the way to go , I'm reverting back to normal Omnibot treads . Failed tests do not mean we are set back , they are but the stones paved in the road to success. - J starnes
The beginning of this project I had the goal of a omnibot vacuuming and cleaning my house. So I began cutting down the shark vacuum (which are top performance to dollar ratio by the way!).
