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 am hoping to get the robot vacuum the room at much faster pace using Synthiam ARC as the control, not the built in Roomba control. I added a 3rd ultrasonic at bottom on Roomba so now the detection radius goes left,right and bottom collision detection. NEXT step will be to hack the roomba sensors too.I also followed the DJ improve sonar performance hack. I Used foam material soft...https://synthiam.com/Community/Tutorials/Increase-Ultrasonic-Distance-Resolution-20082
I Did a small sonar update so that all 3 sensors are detecting obstacles and junk very effectively.Can now let it vacuum any size of room unsupervised.Even this tiny room with Junk everywhere!
Holy cow! The new ep Book of Boba Fett, guessed by Mark Hamil and Disney sure did a fantastic Job making him look as he did in 1975, can't even tell if CGI or real!
Ya got some fake weapon testing done, that star L.E.D. is just awesome,all I need to do is find my Ideal Gatlin gun sounds for it! Then he is ready for the next coming Civil War,ha ha kidding...or am I?:D
here I did more of the Movement Panel tweeking to get every servo working,all 3 sonars working,cam and it is almost as graceful as a ballerina dancer...well not quite, ha ha but will not run into any furniture,crates on floor or walls and that is always a big thumbs up success!Man, your robot is so intimidating! It lives up to the Cylon persona!
Ya I don't know if I should have made it so real to the original ,DJ. The other night some kids from upstairs saw it and were terrified but excited at the same time. Then when the voice came out of the Amplifier speakers, those kids bolted out the door! Perhaps the Cylon voice should be made more like Elmo? Nah.
Oh man, the latest book of Boba Fett is so awesome, I don't even want to give out spoilers but his weapons though!
Oh ya the other thing I wanted to say was regarding the revolution six EZ robot....who ever designed that bot has my respect, I mean when you see it crawling around...yikes! WAS IT DJ or Jer, Man what a creepy robot!
