Hello fellow roboticists my name is Quincy. I live in the Netherlands and Sassenheim is the pittoresque village i was born. I does sound like the name of a mad scientist so hence my nickname:)

I have little experience with robots with the features EZ robot features, so i'm anxiously awaiting my package to arrive. In my youth i used to take apart old electronics not knowing how it actually worked, but i was nevertheless curious.

I regained that curiosity and read a lot about robotics, electronics and micro-controllers. I've played some with the Arduino and I'm planning on building a cnc router with it.

So what are my plans with the EZ robot kit? Since i'm a fan of movie robots and have seen many splendid ones already on this forum, I've decided i will try to make a robot modeled after the Metal gear MKII.

It will feature

• a height and pan and tilt sensor head mounted with the cam. I'm planning to insert an RGB LED as well for status or emotion indication.
• a servo opened hatch. Since weapons or not allowed here it will become a drink cooling bay for some Dutch famous brand beer. (starts with H and ends with eineken;) ) I already ordered some peltier elements from ebay.
• i will try to implement a robotic snake arm thingy just like ingame. Inspired by the cardio arm surgeon robotic device, i think after some prototyping it should be manageable, if not then perhaps a robotic arm.
• movable display on the side for teleconference. -and the last but not least it will be a balancing robot. (on legs which should be height adjustable as well)

since this is a project with many difficult features, all help is welcome. Thankfully i do not have a deadline so i think it will be a good and fun learning experience:)
