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....

Seems better with the larger drive wheels but I think I need more speed for the turning and over all forward speed so this I can adjust with the ARC win10 program running it.
Sorry but had just HAD TO DO THIS!!!!
Aha ha! Believe me it has fallen over and crushed it self about 10 times already! It just keeps getting stronger and faster. I don't think anyone has ever field tested the EZBv4 as much as i have through several bots outside and in rain, mud ,snow impact crashes...that EZb4 is the greatest invention since sliced bread. Nothing can kill it if wire connections are good I have used the same one for years now! Congrats. To EZ robot and DJ for such an awesome robot controller!
Yeeeeeeeesssss, send those troopers thru the mud!! EZ-Robot and Synthyam are great!! Also this forum is so much fun!!! Good to have all these great robot enthusiasts under one roof!!
This is the greatest community forum on Earth! The real skynet! LoL!
CHINA police robot deployed to streets .....https://futurism.com/first-police-robots-traffic-china Ha hahahahahahahah..ha ha ha...OMG that is the best China can do with all their tech and Factory work forces?? My Terminator is just made of scrap plastic I had lying around and most of the electronic boards come from China.Yet My Terminator on the street would send criminals running for their life compared to that joke China robo-cop, LOLOLOLOLOLOL!
Well, they are "cute" aren't they? Most of the police or security robots are like that one in their design appearance and function. Designed to look like a kiosk on wheels in my opinion. Their value proposition is they add a presence and they gather information and their TCO or Total Cost of Ownership is less than a manned guard.
The presence part is important because studies show people behave differently if they think someone is watching them. Cameras don't change people's behavior very much. A human guard or officer will change behavior and initial studies show people will respond the same to a robot as they do a human. TCO is important because any organization making money wants to make more. The information collection, that is probably the dark horse with these devices, because they can collect more data than just evidence recording. They can record foot traffic. Traffic patterns through out the day. Customer flow patterns. I'm sure they could collect all sorts of neat information to the cloud and could then be used for things other than security.
So it makes sense they design the robots to look like a kiosk on wheels, so no one gives them a second thought.....until its too late! Not everyone can be as cool as RoboRad and jump start the robot revolution right now!!
Oh ya for sure police in China have more sinister secret motives to gather data on the population. if they all looked like terminators ,the population would not trust them.Still I would laugh if I saw one like a walking pylon tailing me down the side walk!
