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....

Right on Nomad! That was a good find, I will be doing something similar next summer programming artificial Intelligence into Terminator and the second robot a classic Cylon. They will battle each other with Laser Tag system and I will allow people to take control of a robot over internet for player VS player battles, should be fun and it will be outside as well EDIT---- And as a side note, for anyone new reading this, None of this would be possible with out the EZ robot Controller system,Screw Arduino, LOL!
Very cool, the new CTV space channel is showing StarTrek the motion picture from /82 I think, I have seen it about 50 times at least,That first one and Wrath of Khan are some of the best Sci-Fi ever made.Today the sci-fi are a dime a dozen and all non imaginative dribble. Where have all the best sci-fi screen writers gone?
@Robo rad. Have you seen "The Expanse" series? Was on SciFy (not sure where it was shown in Canada) but now on Amazon Prime. Best Sci Fi TV since Babylon 5.

I agree with Alan The Expanse series is very well made and written. The problem with these series is they take a very long time to come out with next season, sometimes over a year.
I try to watch these new space series that come out but after the 2nd or 3rd show the storyline is just too slow or they purposely make the plot line too complicated to follow so early in the season, I find my self bored and never go back. There was one I just loved years ago called Space Above and Beyond,awesome series. The new Trek looks promising on this thursday and hoping new "Picard" series will prove interesting as well.
The Expanse is awesome #trustallan
You know, nothing makes me more angry than these new sci-fi writers that think it is cool or Artsy to write a sci-fi script and get it made into a movie, then leave it with no ending! Oh my God! I see that all the time now. I just saw one that seemed like a good story "400 days" They get these space cadets to go under ground for 400 days to simulate a voyage to Mars,cool things happen and then it just ends where there should be more explaining of what really happened, you are left completely confused and feel like you wasted an hour and a half! Like is everyone dead or aren't they all dead, who knows because it ends! Grrrrr.
Maybe you need to stay 400 days under ground youself to understand the full scope of it!! Just make sure you take enough supplies...like beer!!
