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.

So LieutenantCommander Data the customers greeting droid is awesome! He is still fully functional for two years (24/7)...
So I finally made a short video of my robot.
Wow, that's really cool! And I love your slippers.
Hey cool, is fast and agile and yes, wild shoes!
Wow what features did you use to get him to travel room to room like that? Looks like he needs a rear rangefinder or somthing because he backs into stuff. Very cool setup! Looks like a personal mars rover!
The rangefinder on the claw is really cool.
Waw, very good ! Great robot ! Look that it can compete with the Mars rovers ! Contact Nasa, try to make a deal ! Van harte gefeliciteerd !
Mvg,

Hello budel0, Very nice robot. Nice wiring job! The arm is really cool.
If you get some free time could you give us a step by step instruction on how you got the synapse- long range system working? How to hook it up? I'm very interested but am a newbie when it comes to this sort of thing. I think it would benefit everyone here on the forum.
Thanks,
Rex
P.S. Can you provide a link to where you got the synapse boards?
Thx all I've been working on it for 1 year now. And have had many ups and downs. A few weeks ago both of my speedcontrollers found it funny to roast themselves and some other things. So I made the switch to a 25a dualchannel sabertoothcontroller, expensive but worth it.
@Jstarne I'm controlling it with my joystick. And my sabertooth is set in exponential throttle increase. So it's sort of sensitive. And I don't drive it around a lot, because I'm constantly taking it apart changing things and putting it back together.
Other stuffs I'm working on:
