I posted this in the wrong section I guess, but here is a link to my newest bot - RoboRAD. I am combining a RAD 2.0 base and a robosapien.

Cooool , its tempting to get one for dusty. .. but maybe a bigger one. Very cool bret very very cool.
I ordered 2 of them just to have a extra one on hand I also pick up a few cans of KRYLON FUSION for plastics ,RED and BLUE Was looking for colrs to match johnny five 2 different blues and only one is testers paints and use a AIR BRUSH tool to mix the colors to match him Could use my friend that owns a car body shop,but would take longer and cost higher
Thanks Josh. Since this is USB I can power it right off the EZ-B. It only needs 5 - 5.5 volts. I don't know about the larger ones.
So to mount robosapien onto the RAD base platform I made, I modified a couple of cable hold downs to accept a screw.

WIth the leg motors removed, I had a nice base to use as my mounting surface and secured the robasapien to the RAD.-634943736485156250.jpg)
I still have some tightening up to do and a little epoxy to apply, but here is where it really starts to become RoboRADAFter that I can install the camera and put his body on him. Yay!
Looks great
ON the plasma ball i see they come in different colors
Bret on the RED paint i guess you used chilli pepper red
What i found out the testers makes plastic paint in many many colors more the krylon fusion and for polycarbonate type of plastics its TAMIYA paints ( PS line)
He is really turning out well! Kinda looks like a tough battle bot, like on a ED-209 level.
i remember the ED-209 when it first came out in ROBOCOP and then again in TERMINATOR judgement day BE cool to make that design of robot
Yeah, ED-209 is really cool. That is a bot someone needs to build for the Mechwars that Josh and I are doing.
Oh yea I want a ed209 so stinking bad. I mean it doesn't need to look perfectly like him just the general concept. Intermediate and professional classes for mechwarrior competition indicates the robots must walk and have individual servos for each leg no csm systems or multiple links to one motor allowed.
