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....

that big B9 bot swinging one of those light sabers?
Yes! I love the idea. I'm in the middle of upgrading his arms now. Maybe I'll try to get him to be able to hold something like that.

Well, now you gotta do it. I think that would be totally awesome.

Well Dave, took your suggestion to build a bug tent on porch and if any do get in they fly up to the bright light saber and stay there! Will still try it with robot but so hot lately and got Lazy!

Ha ha ya Dave ,going back to city next week for more Cylon mods will try the light saber out using the advanced HD servo arms it has and try to program defence sword movements for dueling!  For now the saber attracts bugs like crazy at cottage!

Nice. It looks like the bugs go nuts over it. Is it working to attract them to the saber and not you when you're outside at night like you wanted?

We have a real problem with those yellow jacket hornets they will fly into any drink you are holding. Mostly all day but still a few at dusk and night.safe in bug tent but they do go for that bright light and humming sound, same with other bugs.

Ya I have stayed at the cottage since we had amazing summer weather. Was no desire to go back to city. So I only have the new Cylon head but the main body is back in the city. Just testing how the eye scanner and Panda computer vocoder voice will look and sound.
