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.

@Robotmaker that would be awesome.
The Spykee robot uses just IR on the base and in it's charging base. It has to be pretty close to work but does a pretty good job of backing it's self up into the station. They publish the SDK. It's in linux, but I am pretty sure that "with some programming knowledge" it could be implemented.
Ya know they have broken roomba's on ebay all the time that you could probably get for cheap and take the parts from.
So I need a beacon on the base and a receiver on the bot hmmm and links to parts for this?
IR beacon
self docking robot
one i use since i have over 30 irobot roomba's i use parts from them you will need the omnicone so it receives 360 deg signal and as a IR DETECTOR
I just got a supposed workng roomba for $50. Just came today still charging.
i repair ROOMBA and NEATO xv-11 ,it can be a good for EZB,CHECK MY I ROBOT ROOMBA PROJECT you do need to update the firmware for the SCI commands to work with EZB some do work without the firmware update,i have the most common update tool for it the link to norris labs IS SOMEONE I KNOW WHO GET ME A START ON MY DESIGN
i sell the LIDAR with a special usb microcontroller board,to use instead of the KINECT so things bad about KINECT sensor very large,very high current usage,cant see a person and track at the same time,but still a very good sensor on the LIDAR it compare to high cost hukoyo LASER AT $1200 neato xv-11 LASER has about the same specs for about $160 (my price) or by a neato xv-11 many websites has many hacks on it and a guy got $300 for hacking the code
I may hit you up about that.
J... I think you'll totally be able to do it. I am not sure how you'd go about in EZ-B. Probably the scripting area. How are your programming skills?
