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....
Related Hardware EZ-B v4
I have added the M4 Machine rifle to the Terminator, it is fully electronic and can be switched on with EZ-B controller,with out airsoft BB's it makes avery impressive sound in Full Auto mode just like in the Terminator movies and of course with the 300 BB's loaded into the magazine it will fire them hard enough to go through card board(Even my sheet rock roof!) It would hurt to get hit like a minor bruise but will be only used for hitting targets in the field outside with Aim from my TV or smart aim by the Terminator. Hard to see full detail of weapon but wait 'Til I get it out in the sun shine!
I added some brush on black paint to the eye sockets and Brain CPU cavities,also in the deeper holes around the Jaw areas,looks more like the real Movie Terminator now,just need to add a new LED to the right eye and pop it back on...Raining again here like usual so can't get much testing done. ...oops forgot to publish vid,try again,hold on.....
Template for painting Chest and just leave the shiny chrome parts under as part of the spinal column to make it look more like in the movies. Still raining here so it is a bit dark but you can still see The shiny bony parts on the chest.
As for the second Cylon robot project , I will be converting this Rad 2.0 robot I got from Ebay to use the body parts and lighting,possibly the original 6 volt motor gear track system as well. Along with my Spare EZ-B version 3 and H bridge controller. Of course it will be way taller too. The fist step is to paint it Glossy black and then the special chrome paint ordered from Ebay.
Just had had a great Field test here night time at the cottage out in the Dark Field with only a Flashlight on the Robot to light his way around. I only used the Mobile bottom section for now since it is hard to see any bumps in the grass and would not be able to see if Terminator upper body may topple over.The bottom half wheels were quite fast booting around the Field!
Congrats @Robo Rad! It seems it's been a successful night for the both of us. I was able to get the power glove controlling the Adventurebot on tonight's Live Hack
I know it's no easy feat to get your robot driving around outdoors on an uneven surface, so that's awesome!
Nice. I'm hoping to see an action video of this big guy soon. Do you intrend on sending on one of your ghost hunts?
