Well it's never really complete right?
Here's my first (whew!) fully working droid, "Archetype". As you can see its somewhat EZbit "friendly" so room for expansion is possible.
I hope you all like my style...back to the old way of doing things, without 3D printers. Having said that, I have to credit Richard R for the ezbits.
Enjoy, and comments and suggestions are appreciated!
As of right now, I can't use everything at the same time, since it causes the ezb to brown out. I have also done the super cap fix, although it helps, I still only have a 2 amp voltage regulator running everything. That's only temporary of course. Once I get a higher amp battery I'll post some videos.

Nice bot
looking forward to seeing him tooling around ...
Archetype has interchangeable limbs/heads/bodies/drivetrain - in the tradition of EZ robot ezbits...so here is not exactly a new robot but a head, a torso, and a drivetrain option called "Cronos"...named after the singer of cult heavy metal act Venom... As requested by some users I am showing how my process works, step by step building and creatIng sculpture.
Hope you all like it.
Interchangeable parts? Damn, another great idea dude... and those hub less wheels rock..
@Richard R
I told you about the interchangeability plan a while back...anyway archetype parts will work with any EZ robot...just offering something other than the classic "white" that all commercial robots seem to look like...
The hubless wheel is from a Star Wars episode 2 r/c toy...
Yeah, I had forgotten... Been a seriously busy 2 weeks for me and much less sleep than I am use too. I am supposed to be part time, but the last 2 weeks have been anything but..... Stiil, I love the concept... kinda' of wish inMoov could do it...
@Richard R I am planning on getting a 3D printer soon...if I can get inmoov joints I can make arm and head designs with my design logic...ill get there soon.
I thought you retired old man!
I thought I retired too... LOL... turns out my robot addiction keeps me working... It's a serious monkey on my back man... can't shake it... LOL I know you are a sharp guy... so if you don't mind tinkering and tweaking I recommend the Wanhao Duplicator i3... It is just under $400 US and it prints very well and has a decent build area... Like I said though, it's not really plug and play, but I know you can handle the nuances of the printer and get it up and running... It has a great user forum on google groups too... Check out the youtube videos of it as well if you want...
Hey @Doom,
You never stop amazing me with your artistic abilities... I am really impressed with your latest creations. The hubless wheels really make "archetype" 21st century plus!
I fear to see you with a 3D printer... I hope you get one soon.. Thanks for sharing your newest bots and welcome back.
