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.

I will be posting live here Saturday when i build my wall-e robot. Tune in!
This looks really good Josh! And good tip as well!
Thanks Brett! I imagine you could do this in a couple places on your base to ensure really good airflow for that new monster motor controller! I bet that rad base can get up to 5am draw per motor on carpet turns. Anyways I found this to be a clean way to make them. Have you bought the 10a controller like I have yet?
Yup, waiting on it to arrive. Can't wait.
one mine using a 30 amp controller ,using a stronger motor to carry items,it handle easy 70 lbs ,plus will have a feedback called magnetic quadrature encoder design i made,how far it goes in feet and how fast and forward and reverse
the robot in my AVATAR uses optical quadrature encoder,plus a few other designs i made,but in the small robots kinda hard to use a optical disc
magnetic encoder is a hall effect sensor plus a magnetic disc for quadrature encoder you use 2 of encoders at 90 deg to each other,can use one,but with 2 you get foward and reverse counts
JOSH is your vacuum you are using have a 12 volt motor,took 2 vacuums apart and they using 120 volt ac motor,i guess not all vacuum cleaners are a like since i have many many parts from the NEATO XV-11 robotic vacuum cleaner ,might look at using it,plus so many of the IROBOT ROOMBA vacuum cleaners over 25 of them is another idea too
another idea i have for my friend JOSH i have many dirt detectors can give it to you free,analog output,they use them on the bottom of the roomba brush for detecting DIRT
@robotmaker yes its a 12v motor in the.cordless vacuum , I picked cordless because they give a mix of real suction power with real spinning dirt brush that has several times more power than a roomba. I don't know exact current draw but the 1.8 ah battery that.it comes with runs it for 20 to 30 minutes , it has a low battery cutoff circuit so once the battery cannot maintain full speed on the motor any longer it trips a tiny relay to turn off the vacuum. This is a feature.of shark vacuums I found useful for robot applications that prevents over depletion of battery
@robotmaker. Dude I would love to have some free sensors and stuff ! Dirt sensors are a great idea!
Update on incoming items : I have 4 mg645 servos and lynxmotion pan brackets I'm using for omni 20p0 shoulders.
Two of these on.the way...thats the lynxmotion pan and tilt i posted awhile back ,much much stronger the pololu pan and tilt mg645 servos are great,i am double the power o5 the mg645 servo for my arms roomba's are very weak,but the NEATO XV11 is about 3 times or more suction then roomba or shark just like the motors are more then double the torque
on battery protection super simple to make a low battery detect using analog input first circuit draws extra current,plus no a great to switch power off with a relay,thats old school design mosfets are the way always to go
i saw a shark vacuum cleaner at target for $85 ,does have a fair enough vacuum,not great small problem with using the NEATO VERY powerfull vacuum cleaner ,you do need to make a canister for the dirt
on the sensors let me double check them for wiring hook up first,since no specs on roomba or neato stuff
@robotmakerI tested the vacuum under regular use and it did really well , the shark I mean. hats your email again/
that model vacuum cleaner over $100 unless get lucky at a yard sale or thrift store.and it will be very hard to tell if has a AC MOTOR or DC MOTOR,i took 2 apart and found out both had AC MOTOR,all type of cordless has them but very high cost or not much suction whats "hats you email again/" meen
since i got another omnibot my 3 one,looking to use the swiffer ,since all my floors are tiles,had carpets before and found them ,first hard to clean even with the best vacuum cleaner,i had DYSON till sold it ,the best ever on the market and well worth $300 paid at that time for it,tiles cant trap in dirt like carpets can,then i have throw rugs as needed in my place,easy to clean and wash
