X-mas came early!
This guy needs a major cleanup, there was some greasy fluid coming from one of his elbows... I knew it was about 25" to 26" tall but this thing is gigantic! One of the wheels looks like it's starting to "melt" down/rub off so It looks like I'll be casting either slip over traction sleeves or making a mold of a good tire and casting the whole thing as one piece in urethane rubber or urethane plastic... The wheels appear to be around 3" everything about this thing is BIG! Sorry for the bad pic but my iPhone lens is all scratched up and there wasn't much light when I took the picture.
Thanks again to DJ Sures for the inspiration and tech know-how!! This is gonna be FUN!
More coming soon...
Happy holidays everyone!!

@jstarne1 Hey! Sorry I've been too busy w/ school...
As soon as I get some free time I'll be updating... I got my EZ-B kit and have played around with it connected to an Acer Iconia w500 and it works great! I think I'm going to go with a different setup for driving around... I dont want the noise and wanted to work out something more updated. I'll post some pics of the body painted but still need to repaint the head/arms because of the bubbling problem from the clear coat. Thanks for checking in. Sorry to keep ya'll waiting, I will update soon ( I hope )
Nice
Cool pics ! I know it seems as the days are never long enough to get stuff done !
That's awesome man. Oh if you don't use your gearbox n motors I would buy them ! Anyways I used dynamat on my gearbox on every square inch of the outside and now its the quietest drive system you can ever hope for! I may even put a second layer on to make it silent. Anyhow with dynamat all over driving at 6 volts it made a little over 30db. Just enough to hear a little hum. But if you want ill trade you a rad 2.0 bottom half if you rather go with somthing different!
This is omni sitting on rad base. It's exactly the same width as omni 2000 large lower base , wanna trade ?@Jstarne1 Dynamat is great stuff! I think Im going to hang on to the original drive for now. To early to get rid of anymore parts
the pics look great! Cant wait to see a video!
Thnx @ww321q & @bret tallent !!
I bought a Acer iconia w500 too after seeing dj use one. I got scammed and sent a refurbished instead of New but its still cool.
@RandEZ & @jstarne1 - I have a slightly off-topic question about your Acer Iconia w500s. Are you using the EZ-Robot camera with the Iconia? Is it "bothersome" to use the EZ-Robot camera's USB dongle with the Iconia? I'm curious to know if the USB dongle gets in the way of using the Iconia tablet at all when you're holding it. Thanks!
@RandEZ - Omnibot 2000's looking great so far with the new paint. Looks brand new!
@jstarne1 - sorry to hear you got scammed on your Iconia. I'm actually looking into getting a refurb Iconia to save a little on cost.
