Well I have had to do an errata on my power supply, Sorry if this has caused any problems to anyone. The final P/S has 9v for driver board,6v for brain, 3v and 6v for my 35mw green and 200mw red laser's. Also 4.5v and 5v for later add ons. The P/S has now been installed on my robotic base and connected to RSV2 and is working great with no over heating. Next I will be utilizing RSV2's foot and tilt sensors intergrating them into the bumper system on my robotic base.I am also looking at using the two spare geared foot motors in conjunction with the tilt and foot sensors. Watch this space.

Hi Guys, I (RobosapienV2 4mem8) thought I would put up some photo's of a weekend project making a robotic base. This project would be a good exercise for members and others in constructing a simple robotic base. The base is constructed of alloy, the wheels from an R/C toy and casters which were lying around, some parts have to be made. Motors and motor drivers will vary depending on what you have or install. This is for the basic frame only. I have included the finished robotic base photo.

Welcome to RoboPaint! Paint your favourite WowWee Robotics robot any colour you like. Try out some new colour for your toy robot. Unfortunately at this time, you can only paint the RoboSapien V2, RoboRaptor and RoboPet . I may add the original Robosapien at some point. You could call this an early beta version of RoboPaint, I would like to stick a nice Flash front end on it, and possibly expand the painting to allow for colouring different body parts differently.

I recently had someone ask me how to add an extra IR Receiver to the RS Media in order to improve remote reception from behind. Here is how to do it.

First off, you are going to need to following things, or an appropriate substitute.

Materials

---

• IR Receiver, any IR Receiver will do as long as it meets the two primary requirements. it must be able to receive 39.2kHz signals, and it must be capable of functioning at 3.3volts. This receiver will probably meet those requirements.
  
• some wire, any colour will do, but red, brown and black would be good choices
  
• some heat-shrink tubing suitable for use with the wire you chose
  
• duct tape
  
• a RS Media that you don't mind cracking open
  

Tools required

---

• A soldering iron
  
• wire cutters
  
• heat-gun (for the heat-shrink tubing)
  
• hot-glue gun
  
• screwdriver
  
• scalpel
