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.

Ok so should I do the gun arm or have two regular arms?
i think 2 arms ,said you want to carry a beer or drink or a plate of food ,and dont think a toy guy willl stop a thief w hat about how to detect a thief from a roommate or other motion pickup
Hey Josh, I like the gun idea. I think it is fun, and robots should be fun. Maybe you could make something interchangeable.
Ha , maybe i could make a fiberglass copy of one arm hmm.
plastic is easy to form,just need clay to make to mold and pour liquid plastic in it
Ok so.maybe.I do something with a original robot arm so that the gun arm is interchangable?
how are you going to do the wiring on the interchangable,one idea is what we do at works ,put copper plates on each wire and on the arm part it connects too use whats called POGO PINS
moser and digi-key carries them,its called IN PCB FACTORY A BED OF NAILS fixture,at work i made so many many bed of nails fixtures
Hey J...
If you are looking for some sort of modular arm, then maybe you should look at the erector sets.
They have all kinds of metal pieces that are made to be interchangeable.
