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.

@rgordon It took me quite some time to get them working. I mailed back and forth with the guys at Solarbotics(where I got them) to find out what I was doing wrong. But in the end I didn't follow their manual closely enough and found out that I didn't connect the resistors right.
The manual: Link Everthing you need to know is in this manual. And else you can ask me anything, I'll do my best to respond to it.
Where I got it Solarbotics
Thank you. I will look into it.
budel0 hello! you said it is working on the compass, and is mounted and working? I am sure that like me, many want to know how it works, please let me know if you have already experimented with the compass, and if so which model, thanks.
@R2D2 I have the compass sort of working. It works for a short time. Then the LED on my EZ-b turns off and my robot stops working. So I've figured that its browning out. And because of that I'm working on an alternative powersource for my servo's. For now I'm awaiting parts to build it.
Finally finished up my lighting system.
I used to use the cheap arduino relays from ebay to turn them on and off. But when a friend of mine needed to order something I ordered some MOSFETS(IRLML2502PBF) with him. And made my own switches which are way smaller, faster(atleast 5MHz), quiet and very cheap(total price like $0,50).
Still on my ToDo list:
Looking really good!
Nice! Bot got Bling
Can you provide a schematic on your little switch, please?... I have been looking around and have many options, but would like to try making something that I know others have used with the EZ-B.
@Gunner Here's the scheme. I have to say it's really simple. Depending on your application you might want to add a diode between(did that to idiot-proof mine, just in case) the + en the load(application).
