Omnibot 2000 Anonymous 2015-09-22 13:19:00 No.1134

Just got an Omnibot 2000 with a missing controller and a left hand that keeps coming off. I'll be purchasing a new battery for it pretty soon but after that I'm not entirely sure what to re-purpose it as. I have a power glove I'm pretty close to getting to connect with my computer as a peripheral so retro-future-izing is a sort of hobby of mine. Should I gut the bot and completely replace it all to make it run off completely new technology? Should I outfit it with omnibot replacement parts and have it perform as it's supposed to? Should I turn it into a mobile computer tower? I really just don't know. The thing is over 2 feet tall and 1 foot long and wide so it's pretty damn hefty.

TL;DR Bought a non functioning bot and need ideas for what I should do with it

Op here, on a similar note I also have one of these virtual reality arcade cabinets laying around as well as a virtual boy and soon to have a Nintendo R.O.B. If anyone has ideas for any of these I'm all ears.

Those VR cabinets where so much fun. Does it work?

There's a cable I need to replace connecting the helmet to the computer and I may swap out the monitor in the helmet here pretty soon. But other than that it works. The helmet's movement actually plugs into the computer in the cabinet like a mouse. These things ran on XP so while it's booting you could move the cursor by moving the helmet. This means I could put basically any rail shooter on this thing easy.

That is awesome! Put something like house of the dead 2 on there for a real immersive zombie shooting experience.
