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.

@jstarne they sell parts for dremel tools,i bought a extra motor when mine went bad
LOGO looks great
I will see what I can do but I think this guy is just on his last leg. (my 6yr old Kawasaki brand dremel) It's time for a new one. I have a cheap spare from harbor freight that hopefully will work well. I bought it for 7 dollars so I can't loose lol. The logos are Nissan Silvia aftermarket badges. I always loved how they looked. Attention: I'm looking at ideas to have mouth of some kind. Either a led mouth that lights up while speaking or actually cutting a section on the bottom side of the head and add a Hinge and micro servo for opening and closing. The RSP robot had a neat idea but my head would require the mouth to be on the bottom side unless I just use LEDs to light up when there is speech. Anyways I may be hanging out with a girl tonight after work so I may hold off on more modding till tommorow. I will update a port assignment list to this post shortly and the to do list for tommorow.
Hey Josh, I thought about using one of those VU meter kits with the LEDs as a mouth. Two of the single meter style base to base so it lights up from the center out as he speaks might be kind of cool.
i made my own VU meter as i post in the forum,super simple and lot cheaper then the kits,have 30 chips to have on hand,all you need is the chip,3 resistors and a trimpot and cap,plus type of led you want to use,i use rectangle types,look s closer to a real mouth on dremeltool i bought the best XPR 4000 FULL KIT plus drill bench and flex cable ,plus bought more attachments for it,think i paid about $180

Ok I'm testing equipment , tonight I'm loading drivers , tomorrow I will place a load on the PSU while running off the two lead acid batteries and check my runtimes , ofcourse most the time there would be litte load on the pc from ez. So this gives me min runtimes.@brett and @robotmaker - I'm cool with doing a led mouth but I don't know how , you would need to show me schematics and explain it like I'm a 5 yr old lol. I know electrical principles and ohms law well but not integrated circuits and stuff like.that.
Ok wow I got lucky , I plugged everything up and win 7 booted up , whaaaaat? The hard drive was preloaded with win 7 all I had to do is pop on my driver discs for motherboard and video card and everything was running peachy in minutes!

Put a volt meter on your battery pack & stop when they hit 10.5v to keep from hurting a battery.
