The forum needs a hackable robot category or thread… :smiley:

I am on the verge of hacking an omni-bot 2000 to make it autonomous, rc controlled and web controlled… I would love to get ppl’s feed back and ideas…

Will do I just ordered the RoBoard 100 starter package for this hack project.
It seems like a good feasible idea other then my mini ITX projects… Small foot print… less current draw …

I have fond memories of the Omnibot 2000. Have you seen the WiFi capable Barracuda Motor Controllers?

One of these Barracuda’s, a simple Linksys router and a webcam and you have a robust WiFi robot platform :smiley:

Hi bozooka,

Welcome to the RobotShop Forum. Keep us updated on the status of your project with plenty of images. For now, consider posting your progress in a new thread under “Robot Project Showcase”.

Fortunately The RoBoard’s PWM pins can handle up to 10A. The board itself draws ~1A when connected to a keyboard, mouse and monitor. We will soon have a Debian5 GHO file available to download.
