to mark as completed Rebuilding an Omnibot2000
I have always loved the looks of the omnibots and have the bigger ones. I found this omnibot on Ebay and I figured that the box like body would be big enough for bigger batteries and bigger brains. Before I started my build I managed to get the omnibot logicboard to run. This is why I made this video, I couldn´t find any good on the internet. On the video the robot is remotecontrolled using the stock remote. I now got one working omnibot2000 and one with a fried brain. The second one is were the fun stuff is going in. Any suggestions on what type of interface board i should use with the ITX board. Currently using a Velleman usb I/O. I also have an ER-1 kit made by Evolution Robotics but its kind of limited.
I Have no programming skills at all. Just tried a little visual basic 6, because i had the CD.
