I have had my OmniBot in his box sitting in the garage for the past 30 years because I could not find a battery for him. Well actually I was lazy to find one I should say.
I was going to sell him but I found this site and my interest in him has returned.
Here is the before shot I just took of my Omnibot with my laptop before his transformation.
My goal is to use my laptop in the picture and merge it with my Omnibot. The reason I will be using my laptop is I am getting a windows surface for Christmas so I would no longer need the laptop.
I am also going to mount the laptop keyboard into the tray as a keyboard holder and try to find a way to mount a small projector into one of the eyes to use as a monitor for the pc. At the same time install the ez-b kit as well.
I plan on calling him Minion 8 because he will be a functioning portable desktop pc running windows 8 and a controllable bot at the same time.

I guess I will start with painting the body.
I always wanted my own butler but could never afford one.
Well it is time to make sure my butler is dressed for the part.
