Clear domes

I haven't used these - But I HAVE used:

The only drawback is that there is a minimum order of $60.00 -- I just ended up buying two domes (about 16"). Because these are custom jobs, you need to allow some turnaround time to get your order.

You can see one in my office mounted on one of my robots -- no pics, you'll need to use the teleoperated robot link below. The robot with the dome is to the left of the desk at the end of the room.

Hope that helps -- taFkaks

Also, as was pointed out to me earlier, the dome looks squashed when viewed through the robot. Actually, however, it is perfectly hemispherical -- I just need to fix the aspect ratio of the camera client.

Thanks -- I had seen these, but I only need one, so the $60 min makes it for all practical purposes $60 for 1. Unless someone else is looking for one also, and they'll ship to different addresses on the one 'order'.

Took a while, but I got over to it. :-)

The bird guard domes are indeed super clear but at the top of the dome is the connector for a rod that holds the cover. Also there is writing engraved at the top of the dome. We use these domes for R3 droids. Here is a pic.

Thanks -- that looks good. The hole isn't a real problem, I figure I can use it for mounting something - an antenna, blinking light :-).

About where and how big is the writing ?

The writing is in a circle 2.5 to 3 inches from the center of the dome. Its just some frosted writing that is easily sanded off and then made clear with a little heat from a cigarette lighter.

Cool dome! Got a pic of the entire R3 as well?????? And is that one of those 'plasma lamps' sitting in the 'eye'??

Don't have the R3 finished but do have a working R7. Yes that's a plasma lamp as the main eye. Lots of Droid talk here:

Does anyone know of a good source for 5"-7" clear plastic domes?

Sorry about reposting, but does anyone know of a source for 5"-7" clear plastic domes, for smaller robots?

Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.
