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....

Right on! I love the Cylon head, is it a helmet?
Oh Hi Jer, Yes it is an official Kropserkel Helmet you can buy online complete with eye or cheaper as a kit where all you need to do is glue the 2 halves together,the mouth piece and add the Jupiter electronics L.E.D. red eye from Ebay or Amazon. The owner of Kropserkel Scott lives in my old home town so he gave me the Helmet kit with the 2 halves already Chrome plated. He is a great guy to deal with! I am hoping to get the rest of the Cylon body parts to complete as a real robot rather than the costume it is meant to be sold as.His Cylon costume parts are all Chrome plated and in high demand all over the world so it is a bit of a wait when you order from Kropserkel. His full size Cylon classic statue was featured in the 2004 Battlestar TV show re-make when they show the Battle Museum of it in a glass case aboard the Galactica near the start of the first show.
Keep the videos coming mike - super cool!
Well I lost some time as my hard drive crashed big time due to the Power supply exploding in my desktop computer,it must have also caused a major short in the Drive and it became impossible to fix,tried every trick I know but it is beyond repair,the data can still be seen on my Ubuntu laptop oddly enough so I may be able to copy over my music and files before throwing it in the garbage. Back to building up the Terminator and programming what I want it to do with the EZ controller. Although I have it Linked up to my Google mini using the USB 12 volt adapter, The synthesized voice actually sounds best coming from EZ-B and then into Google mini speaker for loudness. To be continued...
Edit---- Now with the EZ Camera I am thinking how cool it would be to get a red soccer ball so Terminator can see it easy and knock it around the soccer field, in between the goal posts!
