Omnibot 2000 , Rad 2.0 Vacuum Bot

Skip to comments Jump to end

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.

They are not perfect vents but look great none the less , I count three holes off.position a bit but not enough to frett about.

lyxmotion was the one i mention awhile back that would work great for tracks,i use them alot for my projects and has 2 different sizes,i made a johnny five kit ,but a better model then one the sell and over twice the price of $1000 for the kit and added a computer on board,second one was new one working on about 3 times bigger ,custom made parts then there is the full size JOHHNY FIVE tracks are much much better and $500 to $700 each one

in venting or adding fans,what i do is take tests with temperature meter inside my robot with all i want to put inside itand run it for a few hours and monitor the temperature,this tell me if i need one fan or a 20 fans ,and not to do a OVERKILL mostly why my projects take a very long time to build,i take many many tests,battery power,torque power,heat,how long i want it to stay on till recharge,and alot more it save a lot of mistakes and changes i need to cover up and repair

@robotmaker the tracks I would buy the tracks and sprockets only , anyways I agrees with you on fans , the ones that are slated for install are for sure needed. I found it was a bit stuffy in the omnibot base

i mostly buy only the sprockets and tracks seperate too,mostly can design any type track system with it dont wont to OVERKILL or add to much or you will be recharging your robot alot of times i look at low current sensors ,cost more but worth the price in battery life,same with fans,or other sensors and add-ons

also on the sensors i have for you,i have a short trip this week for work to cleveland,ohio so wont be able to test them until monday ,they are very flat ,analog with is good for EZB because you can set the level of dirt there is on the floor,need set at a about a half of inch to carpet or floor

I love your vent holes Josh - boy that sounds weird. But they turned out great. And I love the idea of tracks. You should also check out making your own tracks. Large scale RC tank builders make their own and some are pretty inexpensive and pretty cool. There is a site on the web that has that info. I will see if I can find it for you. Also, I'm sending your servo and sensor today.
