Wheeler Chair Robot
I saw that last year somebody had built a wheel chair robot?. My idea for the new Robot will be as a stage mascot that can also pretend to play the drums on stage. My brother has a live Metal band every Saturday night and most of the time we have trouble with no drummer showing up. We end up using a Drum machine instead with the 2 other guys on real guitars and singing. So Terminator will be able to move around and substitute behind the drum kit with the Live drum machine signal activating terminator arms at the drums. Also need him to move around in a wheel chair , so is anyone out there that has done this wheel chair hack, looking for suggestions on power/motor controller connections etc...should not be too hard just larger than I'm used to building. This is a youtuber that bought what I just bought,takes a month to get from China and we are building the rest of the Endoskeleton to integrate in wheel chair....

I sent Scott from Kropserkel a Link to show him, what I did with all the Cylon Chrome body parts I bought from his movie costume web site. He loved the video as most people only use the chrome parts to make Halloween or cosplay costumes at those Sci Fi comicon Festivals! Am I the first to build an actual Cylon robot with his parts? Not sure but how cool is that?
What the???Book of Boba Fett, that black laser sword is about the coolest starwars weapon ever thought up! I should design that for the Cylon!......The Dark blade forged by Jedi-Mandalorian 1000 years ago....." This is the way."
So how much dirt can Cylon/Robot/Roomba actually clean? I put all kinds of dirt on the floor potato chips, cheesy bits,dust,BB's that were fired from my BB airsoft machine gun! This guy cleans it all up no problem. Unfortunately I forgot to recharge the EZB CONTROLLER battery before.So half way through ,EZB shut off causing the robot to keep going forward by Roomba with no control! Had to restart the Synthiam ARC robot software on my PC and turn robot back on at switch,connect back to the WI Fi ,then lucky I had enough battery juice to reset and shut off Roomba motors! To prevent this in future I will only need to keep the roomba create USB cable always able to provide extra 13--14.8 volts directly from Big Roomba built in battery!There is a bunch of hot glue on top of the screws to make sure body won't separate,looks ugly but I have some black paint and this metallic sci fi looking material I can cover up much of the exposed areas.
You should consider placing a panic shut button on him.
It's good to see him in action.
Great idea Dave, as I determined that it was not a low battery that caused run away condition. Just that rare time when connection disconnected due to WI Fi. A failsafe measure could be the ControlCommand in script to reconnect EZB if connection drops out.
yA ,So I was thinking to start some basic conversation capability with the Cylon but the Bing speech recognition skill gives me error everytime ARC starts up?

Edited...I guess it helps if I enable the PC Microphne,LOL!
Roborad you need a sound card or input device on the computer.
yep, check on that DJ , getting some activity on the bing window, it is picking up the stock microphone built on the P.C. all in one.:)
