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 yeah,for sure would need beer underground, 400 days is a long time,LOL!

Think of how many Terminators/Cylons could be built in 400 days of no disruptions in a nice quiet bunker with no one to bother you...just you and your code, some beer, some tunes and some 3d printers.   Now there is a Terminator movie!  "Terminator:400 Days of Synthiam" dun dun, dun, dundun

Lol, I'm definitely with you @Robo Rad.

"Ascension" and "Salvation" are two shows that I wish had an ending.

You guys aren't the only ones talking about "The Expanse", here at the office it has some fans too. I'll have to check it out!

If you want to check out "the Expanse" make sure you watch from the beginning or it will be confusing. as it has a very good but complex story line.

#238  

Oh no, complex story line, that is where I Zone out ,need laser effects,Explosions, psycho killer robots or my attention span drops like Homer Simpson except more like an intellectual Homer.

If you can build and control a robot then you will have no trouble understanding the series Expanse.

Oh for sure I will check it out. While I do have a whacky sense of humor I am a serious Sci-Fi  nut. started in public school where I spent all my time reading the classic Sci-Fi books of  authors like Ray Bradbury,Arthur C. Clark, and the awesome books from Robert A. Heinlein(wrote starship troopers in 1959) and the insane Robot Berzerker sci-fi books from Fred Saberhagen,where much of his fiction about robots has come to pass in many Movies. The Berzerkers were a race of highly advanced robots that came to war with Earth and the stories were mind blowing. The idea that Humans had to dumb down their weapons to defeat the advanced robots by using giant spears on ships called Lancers..Oh I can go on but all these cool ideas were all stolen for Hollywood movies.
