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.

OK ,i might make a second roborad using the red chrome version,besides the roborad using robosapien v2 HE needs a younger brother

i posted the other one in the wrong place BRET i bought another robosapien (yep another robot to my growing list) this one is very cool its a rare blue robosapien V2 ,going to look very cool on a RED RAD frame

hope to get him in less then a week

I MAY make 2 roborad using robosapien V2 ,one called ROBORAD V2 and the other ROBORAD V3

got it on ebay for $38 ,no remote but not needed it has a camera in the top of his head,so i will see if i can hack it,or change it for the bluetooth camera

Mostly worked on Bob this weekend so not much progress on RoboRAD - I did get him epoxied to the base and wired up the TIP 120 switching transistor to control the plasma globe. Now to drill a couple of holes to feed wires to the EZ-B that will be mounted to his back.

Oh, I also designed the decal for his name that will go on the fenders.

Instead of ising a switching transistor witch is old school,i would use a mosfet,less current ,less heat easy to use,no power (wattage) wasted ,plus if the globe is running at less say 5 volts .,using a transistor would give .6 volts less ,mosfet 0 volts less

so it meens plasma globe power is 4.4 volts

BRET also you know whats also cool if you have another working robosapien is have the ROBORAD control it,since EZB has a interface for it (robosapien movement panel)

How about a schematic or wiring diagram for the mosfets and part numbers if it's the way to go?

@Bret, what are you using for the decals? I have a new name badge for my Hearoid to get sorted, was just going to print it myself on some sticky backed paper (like the mailing label paper but bigger) but if there are other ways I'm open to suggestion.
