Lynxmotion does seem to have good quality , I won't know if the boots are usable till I get everything put together. I been so tired the past couple nights I didn't want to make progress.... Well actually my dremel took a crap.

Wow... this looks like a pretty crazy project. I can't wait to see.

Did you ever get that other body fixed? If not I could do for you.

Sfoy this is the first time I've seen you comment on this behemoth of a thread lol. , yes for a smaller bot its been tons of work. No the body is still eat up so I.robbed the front torso of my regular omnibot and I believe they are the same as a 200p torso.

Yeah this one is a beast. There's a lot of projects and since I am fairly new I just got to this one. It took some time and I have to admit I skimmed parts and looked at the pictures... Hahahaha But seriously pretty impressive. I can't wait to see this guy.

Well Josh I am a sculpture and I have a scultable epoxy stuff (that is sand-able and paint-able after) that I have used to repair items such as that plastic, wood, it's awesome. It's a grey but if you are going to paint you'd never know that it was there after it's painted. I'd be happy to repair the body for you.

I am a fabricator not so much electronics but I am learning.

@sfoy , that.would be.awesome actually. I picked up a dremel 3000 variable speed rotary tool. There is one model higher than this.but.is.30 bucks more , this was 50 . This.is my 4th.dremel. its a 1.2 amp so its 20 percent more power than my last one.

dremel 3000 is a good one,i spent a little more about DREMEL 4000 and full kit,JOSH glad to see you got one its the most important tool for building robots

I'm still thinking about going back and grabbing the 4000 model , I mean its 30 more but maybe I can find the extra power useful:)

@Robotmaker you said before you had ideas on giving omnibot 2000 more torque , do you know of motors I could change mine out with to get a little more power? I believe the motors in it are 6 to 12v motors by looking at them but if there is a similar sized motor I can attach the pinion from these stock motors onto to get more torque at 12v I'm all about that!:). Also I checked out that link for the bar LEDs , am I reading that right? Is their asking price 4 dollars per led?? f so do you know if digikey or jameco ect has them cheaper? I have not had the best luck searching for them last night. I will email you my address again today. Do you have the chip and resisters ect I would need to light up the led mouth?

@Glickclick. Each material in sound deadenong works well in certain situations , foam usually is applied to walls of theaters or studios. Most sound on these robots is transmitted through their hard plastic bodies and metal in motor casings. If you want to use a thin layer of foam say a inch ontop of dynamat that does a excellent job of muddling midrange and high pitch noises but also remember foam does this by inhibiting the flow of air keeping sound from bouncing , I may use foam sparingly in a few select places no more that a inch thick because airflow is very important to all my bots components. Dynamat however (though heavier) is not as good as foam but a great second best and doesn't inhibit airflow instead it slows down the transmission of Soundwaves into a lower frequency so its less audible ,if audible at all to our ears. For a bot this is my personal preference because it specifically keeps plastic and metal for radiating motor noises and fan humming , servos ect.

on the motors i have some left,they are from neato xv11 you will need a few changers to make it fit,and need to change the pinon gear to match the same one on omninbot ,servo city has the right one RMPA48-9 ,can ship the motors,but dont have any pinon gears left ,only else you need is a drill bit to make the pinon gear fit on the chips dont have any left futurlec has them if you want to wait or mouser has a replacement

an6884 replacement led vu meter

futurlec an6884 led vu meter i have the trimpot and resistors,radio shack sells some nice pcb's for it
