That would make a pretty sweet project! There's a lot more room in an Omnibot 2000. I can tell you from experience now that robotics is addictive!

Almost 550 views and no comments? Where is everyone?  I think this is freaking awesome! Robbie is going to be great with his new Pi brain. I'm a huge fan of these 80's robots (and their Tomy brethren) There's an Omnibot 2000 In my garage waiting for a hack one of these days...
