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....

That would be my guess that they decided to make it for zero gravity after walking on Earth was tricky.  And with Russian designs, there are no fail safes.  I would not want to be up there with that thing.  This should end badly.

It very well could end badly,not really sure how good the Russian robot tech has advanced but at least they did give it a cool body design. Likely for show and propaganda.

Well hey...all the years I have used ARC, I have never tried the RoboScratch in it. I have used Blockly many times and just wrote my own regular scripts the hard way but using the cheat controls to be quicker at it. RoboScratch is really nice the way you can make it like a traditional programming flow chart. Love the feature of adding a custom RoboScratch script module as part of the Flow! This will make programming the robot much more easy.

This time I filled the mag with the 300 BB's they glow in the dark as tracer fire but it is still dylight,hard to see them but you can heer them hit the trees way in the back as it misses the red target. Cam Needs to be adjusted for outside lighting as it thought I was the red target ,too much gain and color set too high ,it see's red everywhere ,LOL! Also back sonar not on yet so I need to watch where it backs into.

So I am still working on my Classic Cylon Project too, I accidentally ripped the battery wires off the L.E.D. sweeping eye scanner and had to remove the whole mouth/visor to re-solder the wires. It now has an EZ robot HDD servo in the neck to give it left right head turning. Planning to make the body resemble the CGI classic cylons in the movie Battlestar Razor...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZrxLXktmjE In the newer Ronald D Moore version of Classic Cylons he used a horrible Vocoder synthesizer, should have used the old Windows Cylonix vocoder!....https://youtu.be/XbKdUacn-tI

It looks like someone in Russia is building a Terminator as well....and theirs can also talk with no skin.     I like yours much better though RoboRad!!  I really had a good laugh at your last testing...when you became the target!!!  Whoops!!!!  The machine really did turn on you!!!!  hahaha

Aha ha, Thanks Justin! I just did my Final shooting test and it is working amazing how it can detect red targets and shoot with not much delay. I am going to convert the cheesy wheel base to a more modern Tank track design for better traction and movements outside. I purchased the VEX heavy duty 2 foot tank track kit that is designed for larger bots with more weight. A guy drove by on a bicycle watching my test, he was fascinated,LOL! I am glad to see more Terminators getting built from Russia ,the more the Merrier I always say! I have the final video uploading ....done!
