Hello, greetings to all robot builders, I am eager to receive the board ez-b, to give life to my butler robot, robot weighing 2.5 to 3 kg, the wheel servos are 15kg of torque, modified for continuous rotation, arms and head as well these servos, body materials are cheap and easy to find, I have a lot of ideas for the project that I'd like to share. Ping 3 sensors and 1 sharp infrared, head with 2-axis motion, arms opening and closing hands, voice, etc. .. And all thanks to the fantastic product ez-b, which by its ease and flexibility, have encouraged me with this project, since my childhood I came in my mind. Here is a video with the current assembly.

That is wicked cool!! Building the robot from a garbage bin is genius. The arms are great also. Where did you find the arms?
The arms are toys shop in Spain: Toys 'R' Us Price $ 6. They are easy to modify, and hands are empty, ideal for installing any pressure sensor, if you find them in Canada I can send you some, here is a mountain of robot arms in the store.
The project is moving forward! I tested the main features of the ez-b on my robot, and make a perfect marriage! This is just the beginning, the vision and speech, as well as other tricks are in future project. Very good, DJ Sures, I'm having a good time! Good job!
LOL This robot is absolutely cool! I really like the originality and custom build. He has a great personality
Congrats!
That is an amazing custom build. What tools and materials did you use and how much did they cost?
Sorry so long to answer, I've been offline a while, the total project cost is 270 dollars (to date) included ez-b board, servos, sensors, battery, LEDs, cables, swichs, and his body, bucket trash and a bowl (plastic), some aluminum and bolts, etc.. Tools: soldering tin hot glue gun, Cutex, and the best and most useful of all: the reamer radio control car bodies, is a sharpening and rotating for 1 to 15mm holes in plastic, but works on thin aluminum, wood, rubber, etc. This tool will recommend it to all robot builders have to work in plastic, this is:

Hi robot builders! I hope to help or inspire other builders, the latest progress on my robot. Collision sensors in the lower body and a new ultrasonic sensor. When browsing the home is a small object or low-rise, the head sensor does not cover this need, this fixes the problem.
I created two small programs in sensors to detect collision left and right, change the path of the robot.
The ultrasonic sensor lower on the radar is set to change course . current setup ARC:
Greetings from Mallorca, Spain.
Congratulations! This really looks good! You really made it look polished and not from a garbage can at all! I LOVE IT!
