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....

Ya it still kinda reminds me of that animation show Robot-Chicken ,still a great video if real or not!
I was informed that my Chrome Cylon upper body parts should ship to me this week,leaving me excited about getting them as they are pieces that actually big enough to fit a large man as they are designed as a life size costume. Should I wear it for Halloween when I hand out candy at the door? I would need to put some sort of baseball cap inside the helmet to wear it correctly and make the eye area able to see out. I don't know ,depends how crazy I feel that day,LOL! On a side note I may need to design the Cylon parts to fit on a real Mannequin and then make the arms,head etc movable by servos, Where the hell does one buy a Mannequin?I will first check out the big Halloween store to see what Life size animatronic statues they have but likely too expensive.
A quick search showed that something cool like a walking life size Frankenstein animatronic prop goes for 10.000.00 ---ridiculous and the cheapest was a woman Mannequin with working servos for 180.00 but sold out and the chest would have needed to be removed.
I think I'm in the wrong business....People are actually buying these moving props at inflated ridiculous prices!!
Oh well, I guess if the new Terminator Dark Fate movie opens on November 1st and Halloween is the night before, I may as well release my Terminator bot out into the parking lot to freak out the kids while they trick or treat.
Yeeeeaaaaaahhhh!!!!! Awesome!!!!!
For mannequins I'd check out amazon or ebay. On ebay I found male mannequins for about $70 US with free shipping.
I saw this video on Scotts FB channel where I am getting all my Cylon chrome body parts, I am so tempted to do this next time my brother performs with his band on stage at the night club. I should just put on all the Cylon armor and helmet and jump on stage with guitar and surprise my Bro's band like that,LOL!!! I am so tempted to be the first Cylon Heavy metal guitar player in the world,LOL!!! What you guys think? I can't really play anything except Black sabbath Iron Man,LOL! it would be so fun! https://vimeo.com/365654886
Dude, yes, but play a cow bell!! Rock ON!!! cool
Yes that's so funny the cow bell indeed! That would still rock and not ruin the rest of the band with my poor guitar skills LOL!!
