Hello community, I bought an old Omnibot 2000 from ebay and want to give him a new life with the ez-robot kit:
After I unscrewed and cleaned him in the dishwaher, I used a L298N Motor Controller to get him move use the existing gearbox.
This works well.
But the most difficult thing will be to get the two arms moving. For this I will probably need very small servos. Does anyone had experience with this?
What kind of battery is the best to use, because the 6 AA batteries pack are empty after a few minutes testing. I thought about a 6V 5Ah Gel Battery?

I haven't put any of my ezb's in it (not yet anyway) as I'm trying to make it completely autonomous, no internet etc although and I do use putty to upload any code and test it. The pi3b+ has just been replaced with the pi zero w and it currently has four fixed US100's. I pondered sweeping servo's but nothing is set in stone yet. I think with the shape of the 5402, using it's dome but no arms it would make a great mini dalek (may have to get another).
