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.

@glickclick that may be a really good idea , I wonder if that would work with my existing pa. Tilt brackets or if I would just buy one from them. If that's abs those things look really beefy.
Their server seems to be down atm, but their info says they use laser cut 1/4in ABS in there big pan/tilt brackets.

Make omnibot 2000 taller by adding in sections between base , and torso. Raising total height from 26 in to 34 inch.Your drawings always look awesome! He keeps getting better and better!
I love the proposed changes. I think it is a really good idea to add the height and join the two.
Thanks guys , I have received some positive feedback.here
. Yea I took a snapshot with my phone of the computer I drew it on at work because I didn't have my USB cable at the moment. I will grab the original picture later and post next day I'm.at work.
I been working to tune my machine correctly , 2.5 GHz the system at time got a blue screen , I scaled back to 2.2 GHz baseline with auto overclock as needed by the motherboard and now everything is back to running peachy.
Ok so with a win 7 rating of 5.9 of clocked at 2.2 GHz I'm happy with the performance of a low power 25 watt CPU. This is literally a higher rating than my G50 Asus gaming laptop had so I believe it should handle all the robot oriented processes.
I think that's a great add on. Making him bigger will give you more options. Now hurry up already.
its not to bad,mine always near 7.0 with programs running and about 10% cpu usage,mostly try to get it near 6.5 or better playing a movie will go much higher
josh big item have you measure the current going in to your dc-dc psu most likely will be very high ,mostly because of 2 cpu's one on the motherboard another on graphics card
