Now I have the EZ-B kit and the Hearoid it's time to start my Showcase thread.
I still haven't decided on a name for him yet, all suggestions are welcome.
I won this robot on ebay weeks ago, for the past 2 weeks he has been waiting for me to collect him...
Today was the day, a road trip to pick him up and bring him back to his new home...
In his new home (with Omnibot and Wall-e in the background totally unaware they are next in line to be opened up)
It wasn't long before this happened...
Now waiting to go in the dishwasher to get nice and clean.
The plan is to make him autonomous, running 24/7 (except for when he knows to go charge himself up) but will also be adding in the various image tracking options.
The only other slight modifications to be made to him are to convert the head to tilt & pan which will involve having to give him a small neck.
The head will include the camera. I haven't yet decided to fit it in one of his eyes or to make it his nose. The issue to overcome with this is the blue tint on the bubble head. The mouth will have a light or some lights in which flicker when he speaks.
The arms will be given some life with servos at the shoulder joints and the elbows provided I can get them to fit in there nicely.
Ultrasonic sensor will be in his chest, probably on a servo to give a wider view.
Original drive wheels and gearbox seem to be in very good shape so will plan to reuse those and just replace the existing motors for the modified servos if they can manage the task.
Speaker and microphone will be in the original positions - if it's not broke why fix it?
Not too big a project but enough to give me a test, help me learn and bring an old robot back to life.

has nothing to do with EGO only trying to give you the idea and others wanting to use all or part of your project on thier hearoid omnibot design ,but isnt this project for others that might want to build this project too reason for no details is because it need a circuit first
SAME can be done with digital ports also.there is a lot more digital ports the analog
I was getting ready to make my own topic on multiplexing circuit to have more digital or analog ports with place the link here for others who might want to add other sensors to thier OMNIBOT design using some of your designs
SAME can be done in my projects also anyone has a link to thier project or design can place a link to it ,so if i like will use it
Same with your design ,when i start my hearoid omnibot project will place a link of your project too
Useless post removed
OF your design then why so much details is needed ,just only need a few photos if you are just building this design for only your self and not for others to get info and help on thier builds
most all projects other make are to help others build almost the same design with a few changes or ideas from others they may or maynot want to use
ONLY TRY to give you ideas,i know its your design and can use it or not
Here is a link to multiplexing designs of all types ,for RICH if he want to use it or for others also too
How To Add More Digital And Analog Ports Tutorial
Useless post removed
THERE IS NO EGO why do you bring that up alot i just only post idea that you may want to use
I AM NOT ARGUING WITH YOU AS YOU THINK
God damn it...
I don't blame him. Hopefully the new website has an option for closing Project Showcases and leaving the rest as open discussion. A few people like this idea. Thread link
Sorry for adding another post here Rich. :/
