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....

Well, this thread really took a dark path. I'll probably be staying away form it now for a while. There's enough darkness in my life already. Sorry. Good luck and stay alive.
hey dave
i didn know youve had a darkness in your life . wisch you all the best .
LoL sorry Dave , robotics is at the crossroads to go either way now good or dark. You can now buy the 10000.00 dog robot to do good or evil like the Chinese cop dogs. You can also just have fun like a real pet dog so not all doom and gloom! It was on the CBC news today, Canadian soldier killed defending Ukraine city. I am just speculating these type robots used by NATO troops to carry tools , ammo, guns already through trees and muddy ground there but hard to say if they are using like attack bots. I Would think yes, even like suicide grenade drones.
However like a lot of this tech we have now, it's so cool. I love the vid you posted above. I wish my dogs listened that well. LOL.
Well not looking good today, tv news reports showing air drones by NATO attacking Russians. I do think war robots will continue to evolve sadly. I would still want to buy that robot dog as it has really advanced features I could do many things with.
I find myself pondering is what prevents the leap from "toy" to "real"? What I mean by that is, many of us here and other DIY builders are making robot that can use "toy" weapons, myself included. It makes me wonder, how big is the leap from toy to real?
Also, Dave, I like your comments about your personal protective arms, I think they would still work to take out wheels and maybe sensors, but with the availability of lighter armor that literally anyone can buy, 9mm may not get far on a military grade robot. I keep saying it though, Spray Paint! Spray the robot's sensors and optics, it's done. Lol, turn it off, find the USB programming port and ask DJ, How do we get ARC to run on this T-800 is I just "found".
