I said what's your email , the vx800 I have sells on eBay for just 40 dollars , I used it a couple months before I cut it up. It worked well enough I had no reason to use my regular vacuum , but half my house is tile or hardwood anyways.

I can't wait to see how well those shoulders work! I've got an omni on the way and will follow your progress and best tips.:D

ebay does not have any right now,not even new or parts stress new is $129 on amazon

email is [email protected] one i did bnoticed about putting a vacuum cleaner on a robot,it wont get under tables or couchesn like very low height NEATO XV11 does,can do any area but i buy mostly for the LIDAR lasers to sell for robots,one of the best navigation sensors you can get,most over $1000,neato LIDAR near the same accuracy i sell it with a special cpu tracking usb board and python code that was made for it

$i see that for about $70 with shipping and another $70 free shipping and one for $119 on that model still very high

you said your tracks not good on carpet,they should work perfect on carpet if motors have the right torque (very important) and tracks have good grooves in it,for gripping power i made a ROVER bot with tank treads and they go over sand ,rocks ,carpet and logs thats main reason they use them on tanks

Venting the back of the torso , most holes came out perfect only in two spots the holes were too close together because of the angle I held the drill through the template. So I may fill just those two with Bondi gold and redrill so its perfect before paint. These two vents are tall enough to mount 4 fans , I'm thinking of continue the holes down another 4 or 5 rows which should be plenty of room for two more micro sized fans.

TINY update - parts are in.the mail. Shoulder servos and pan brackets , a 250watt mk4 dc pc power supply , a 45amp charger /power supply 12v to keep at my desk. I ordered the new PSU because.it would save me 5-7 pounds on total weight.

@robotmaker read that post again , yes I love tracks but the ones I bought for the project were too stretchy and once I added 20 pounds of weight the tracks would derail off the drums , I'm not abandoning the idea just going to work that into the project later when I get segmented tracks that will not stretch and derail off the drums under tension. I'm considering using 2" width lynxmotion tracks and sprockets so I don't have the flexible "stretch" issue.

Venting Progress! (and no.I'm not mad at anyone:P ) more pattern drilling to give flow to.dual.80mm silent fans probably the led blue lit ones:)

The vents are two rows wider that the actual 80mm inlet to give mounting play from left to right. The front slot is going to be closed up and only sensors exposed , I want this robot to look.professional from first look and wonder if I bought it instead of made it;). - Josh
