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....

Ha ha ya but if it was actually a wild pig I would have a pig roast BBQ , I spelled it wrong as in Porcupine. I checked on the internet that they are a species of Rodent that some how made it to Canada from places like Africa and they are beastly huge rodents with about 4 inch needle spikes covering them. When threatened they make the Needles stick out like a blow fish and can charge it's enemy jabbing hundreds of these needles into the face of it's enemy.I was almost attacked last week early in the morning when I heard the crazy growling sounds it makes,By the time I saw it with my Flashlight it was just a few feet away and had it's spikes ready to attack me. Of course I ran back as they are really spooky looking the first time you see one. Think of a Gigantic Rat with long needles puffed out all over it!

Thinking of you out there in the middle of the night with a flashlight, searching for a beast makes it even more believable that you are the true Mad Max!!!:D

LOL! Ya the MadMax Road Warrior was always a favorite movie!...latest update...I decided to just tweek the default "Pink" English USA TTS voice in the Google home App and I get an excellent Terminator voice to use with the Small but loud Google mini Bluetooth speaker and a simple TSS/RSS news feed reader from the Google play store. He will just blabber all day long automatically every time the news feed updates.....The only thing I could not add is the slight Arnold German accent, the older TTS voice engines from Microsoft could do that and still read English with a German accent if you added the German language pack. The new TTS engines don't allow this, It will just convert the text to German and not read any English so I guess it will need to be English Arnold Terminator only. I still think it sounds way cool!

Is this metallic robot voice a TTS voice? Sounds supercool!!! Maybe you could just add mp3 files of your favorite Terminator quotes and have the robot pull one of those every now and then?

#125  

Oh for sure some famous mp3 lines to quote from films. It is still good to have the tts voice to say what ever from the ARC as it can use my modified google voice too when running scripts on the mobile cell app.

Ok ,so my 4 EZ Robot HDD servos just arrived. Very impressed how much weight they have for a small servo. These must really have metal parts inside. Now I am planning to replace the old Robosapien V2 arm and wrist motors that are about the same size and only use cheaper plastic gears. They were tricky to get the timing consistent using a relay board. These new HDD servos can be programmed directly from the EZ-B and the movements can be saved in a bunch of ways that simplify the whole process of arm/wrist gripper movements. The arms I use are just really light plastic parts so I believe it will work great. I feel like a kid in a candy store,LOL!

Terminator running good with just a 8.4 battery for now until I charge up the wheelchair 12 volt battery,that will give increased speed and torque for the two 12 volt motors. Gets stuck in deep sand due to the Terminator weight but I will change the wheels to all terrain type wheels to solve problem of sticking in sand or mud,,on grass he runs like a champ though.

Admit it...you dug that hole on purpose, so he cannot escape and take over the world!!:D
