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....

Oh yeahhhh! Actually just chilling out with the A.C. and a beer in the R.V. here at the cottage. Programming a bunch of scripts for the terminator to seek out red balloons outside and terminate them with his electronic pellet rifle. I will be using an 8 channel relay I bought to activate pellet rifle getting signal from the Latte Panda running the EZB's. should be a blast! Had fun downloading about 40 Arnold Terminator movie MP3 Quotes that it can random;y spout out while shooting at balloons (EZ camera set to search and move robot to balloons) Just got to get arms and rifle back on and mount 7" display to his back for better room.His voice TTS speech can only use default microsoft voice with Latte Panda windows 10, which sounds lame but when I use Mobile cell phone on the mobile ARC I automatically get the cool Google robot voice TTS instead, sounds more Terminator evil!
OMG AI Killer Robots a real!!!
omg i need to hide all my robots,terminator is comming.lolcool
Not to worry Nomad I keep it on a leash so it does not escape in the night!
So I am very impressed with the EZ camera performance to do basic color tracking ,it is bang on accurate for red color even in low light indoor condition! Now the Camera is mounted on the robot but I should put it on the BB Auto Rifle so Terminator can actually hit targets the gun is pointing at. This was the successful test I did in the R.V. I am using both a humpty dumpty chip bag in the background as a red target or my Mouse with red light for tracking test. The new 8 channel relay gets signal from EZB and activates gun when ever red target is tracked it scared me the first time even if the 300 BB's are not yet loaded in the clip magazine! The air is still loud from the gun! Next step is to buy some red balloons for outside and program the script for robot movement tracking/camera.
I have a theoretical question, because I'm thinking about building a terminator myself...Can a terminator speak if it is no longer covered in skin?
I mean, sure we can make anything speak with a speaker as robot builders, but what I'm asking is do Terminators speaks once their flesh is removed and they have no tongue? They still have a jaw and teeth. But do they need it to make sounds? Do they have speakers in their throats? Do we have t-800 specs on this from James Cameron? LOL I don't recall a scene where metal terminators spoke. But the t-1000s could speak and they were all liquid, how did that work?
I'm trying to figure out if I need to make my Terminators mouth move or not. Are you going to make yours move RoboRad? Or is yours going to speak via video clips only (which if that is your plan is genius!)?
Ha ha ya you are right! I can't ever remember a Terminator Exoskeleton talking ever! Well mine sure does I was able to fill his soundboard with the full 100 MP3 1 liners and TTS speech from Google voice. I do plan on making the video record shooting at targets with red overlay and audio flanger distortion,like in the Films.People should not come around my Lawn wearing red shorts while I test this guys shooting ability. So far the EZ cam is amazing at how far it can see red targets and then blast it with gun. So far I have not loaded up the 300 BB rounds as it is still in testing phase and it can fire at 900 Rounds per minute . I have it set for 1 second bursts as it takes a while to load so many BB's.That is what I do next.It can now seek out targets and then go to a new script where it does the shooting routine,after,jump back to camera seeking and robot search script until it finds red lawn targets and repeats into firing sequence.
I saw this interesting russian bot ,reminds me of the classic cylons. Not sure if they are built only for zero gravity space?
