Linux robot 92
Chappie is the all time greatest sci-fi movie I've seen. Chappie and automata have shown me that nothing is impossible, it is only impossible if you think it to be, the possibilities of creating such robots as chappie or robots like those of the automata are a possibility that will most likely come to be. I mean if we have robots like Asimo and toshibas talking communications andriods that are very close in comparison to the chappie and automata robots then we are closer to figuring out how conciseness works then we think we are. Albert Einstein even said that nothing is impossible as long as you put your mind to it and he was the smartest man alive. So I am going to learn as much as I can and do as much as I can to make omega as great as those who have came before him and I am going to work on my self sub staining power unit as hard I can even if the odds may seem impossible, I will never give it, and neither should any one else give up on their ideas and dreams no matter how impossible they may be, your minds have limitless potential so use them, and together we can all make the world a better place. =D
@Rich.
I'm all to familiar with NOS, but that's a WHOLE diffrent story
. I was kinda referring to the turbo boost "where you would need to discreetly hide a ramp behind a bush" sort of thing to say "hey, my car can jump", although a hydronic ram would do it I guess, lol.
I wasn't aware about the Audi voice command thing. Anyway if anyone would have tried hooking up an EZ-B to a car, I guessed it would be you dude
. I just had visions of someone hooking up a v4 to an old Ford Capri, fitting electric windows ect, and a tablet in the dash, and using speech rec to control things. That would be kind of a cool project though. Bring an old Capri kicking and screaming in to the 21st century.
Anyway, back on topic.
My favorite film robots are from the 1972 classic Silent Running with Bruce Dern. The robots were Dewey (Drone 1) Huey (Drone 2) and Louie (Drone 3).
I am most fortunate to have a prop of Dewey, here is a reenactment of one of the films classic scenes where the Drones (possibly) cheat at playing cards!
Tony
I have seen the Chappie movie... a very very good movie, thumbs up!
Very cool Tony. Wow, the actual prop!
I also love bb-8 from the new Star Wars, he has to be the coolest little ball droid every him and r2d2 are awsome
That really is a great picture Tony. and it's great you have the actual prop. Very cool.
WOW @Steve G you are bring back some memories with those robots. I loved The Blackhole, I kinda liked STAR the best, I think he was the black solider robot with the fancy shooting skills. I liked how the robots had "off hours" and practiced shooting for fun.
In America we had a short lived TV show called "Riptide" with a robot named "Roboz". If anyone remembers this show, your childhood was awesome!
Of course I loved KITT. I had a 1985 Trans Am I was turning into KITT. I gave up on it and got rid of the car, but kept some key components like the replica dash to try again in the future.
@Justin.
That's a new one for me. Never heard of "Riptide" before. Looks like Roboz was ahead of his time with that tablet stuck in his chest, lol. Very cool and retro.
Not wanting to hijack @Omega's "Chappie" thread, but in regards to KITT, you've sooo got to get back to that. I can just imagine it. Two tablets for the in-dash displays running ARC and Skype for video calling the semi (you'll need to get a semi trailer too), and some EZ-B's to control the flip up headlights, Larson scanner, windows sunroof and door locks, voice box display, and a vast security sensor array. And with ARC running Pandorabots you could have two way verbal conversations, and even David Cochrans EZ-AI and your EZ-Face to make it super smart. If you ever did this, I would save for the plane ticket to come and visit. If I had the cash (and the work space), I would love to take a crack at it myself. It was always the dream. And the great thing is, using and 85 T-top, it wouldn't look out of place or dated sitting next to any car of today, and would be one of the best project showcases on here.
Have I convinced you yet?
