Hello fellow EZ-B'rs, As I finally discovery how to upload photos I thought it was time to share my robot with the world. It's called R.O.O.S.T.E.R which stands for: Remote Online Operating Scientific Testing Electronic Robot (took me about an hour to come up with that, but I like it).
The specs:
- 6x 6v 6A motors
- 2x 20A Rc Car ESCs
- 2x Reddragon 2s 25c 1200mAh
- Ofc the Ez- B
- Dfrobot 5dof robotic arm
- Asus Eee pc 900hd
- Ping sensor (well... I sort of broke it... It got stuck between the robot and the wall...)
Why I'm building it? Because I can, robots are Awsome, the EZ-B rules and I got tired of burning/shocking myself when I'm testing one of my "crazy" contraptions.
Up coming updates for robot:
- A rotationplatform for the arm.
- 2 gigantic lipo batteries.
- camera+ pan/tilt turret.
- Small rockets
- mini mini-gun
- Flamethrowler (a failed version of a liquid fueled rocket, but it's working if you call it something else)
- coilgun
- railgun
- Lots of other things I can come up with.

I’d like to present to the community Little Frankie. He was too scary at 7 feet tall, so I had to cut him down to about...
That is a real nice arm!!!
Maybe a 360 degree servo is a modified servo. I'll find out shortly too. I ordered one to see.
Project update: I have finished one of my mini projects which are for the main project. When I was playing with my robotic arm for let's say an hour I noticed that the heatsinks on the voltage regulators where getting hot so I figured, I have to fix that! Here is the result:
I've mounted the EZ-B on to an aluminium plate. On the side facing the voltage regulators I made 90 degree bent an added a 5v 25x25 mm fan.
Next update: It has to do something with a part that belongs on an airplane, but normal people will never see it.
Or something with batteries
To be continued!
Nice. Where did you find the 5v fan?
I found it on ebay. This seller has lots of sizes, but I thought this one would fit the best. Here is the Link
Thanks
This is spectacular. You should upload a video. I would love to see it in action
When I have finished my camerahead-tower/netbook-protection-holder-thingy and my power distribution board I will certainly make a video ^^. But not yet

A way how I could utilize the ping radar/ I made my wiring look more pretty
