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....

Well if you really want to see some big action, I am just watching the re-make of Midway 2019 just on my TV but this really should be seen in the Theater if you like vintage war planes . Edit----After watching that I should say it was amazing considering the classic Midway had all the best actors in History,to replicate that today,they also have all the greatest actors of today! Just when you think the action is over they add even more action! I would definitely pay money to see this in the theater and then when it comes out on Blue Ray buy it for the collection to watch over and over!

Last Edit-----so before going back to robot topic just wanted to add that I saw the new Stephen King part 2 of the classic horror The Shining called "Doctor Sleep." The first time I watched it last week I fell asleep near the beginning where it is a bit slow moving.I saw it again today and it is a great story as it gets better towards the middle and end.They actually go back to the original Shining Hotel!!!!!

So my original plan was to build the Terminator to be a Giant 6-7 foot real robot mascott that would move around on a concert stage. Now after I just watched the new Slayer feature movie on the net,it was released world wide theaters Nov 6th.It was Awesome,2 hours of Brutal violence from Actors like Danny Trejo and cut scenes of Slayer performing out doors. It was violent and heavy for sure! This made me think of getting the original plan to work during this long winter as I have many Musician friends that could be interested in my project.My Cylon build will also happen at the same time so I plan to get really busy.

Oh yeahhh, winter started here last week.It's Friday today going to have a few beers tonight! The reason i mention that is because I used to waste too much time going out with Friends after work to bars or strip clubs. Wasting too much money! Now I only get a 6 pack on friday nights and just enjoy my free time working with the EZB. I now save the money but it just goes to buy robot electronics! Still saving money and gotta Thank all you people at Synthium and EZ robot. The feeling I get when a robot script comes alive in the robot and it actually works correctly. I never thought it would be so easy to build a Terminator that roams outside able to shoot a bb rifle at any targets that work with A.I. from a camera! Although sometimes I miss going to the peeler bars with my best buds!

Well after3 or 4 months of using the Latte Panda mini computer on my Terminator and then for using to stream TV shows and movies all day and night,never turning it off,it finally just froze for the first time,this has been the best PC I have ever bought,my larger desk tops would freeze up once a week in comparison. I did buy the little CPU fan with it so that could be why it is such a screaming performer and never crashing! My opinion on the 4 Gig Ram Panda with unregistered win10 is 10 out of 10:D!

Thanks for the endorsement Robo Rad. I am probably going to get a couple of these for my robots. It's nice to hear how well they preform and stand up.

Do you have any close up pictures of how you mounted your Latte Panda and have it wired? I looked through your posts above and didn't find anything I could see well.

Hi Dave, The Panda also came with the see through Acrylic case to put the main board in and protect it,there is an opening for where the small fan sits on the CPU and it looks just so futuristic and beautiful when all the L.E.D. lights shine through the Acrylic. Looks gorgeous when mounted on robot body! It is now just used as my main computer for winter as I am in the winter apartment until next April.I use it for everything and my giant desktop sits unused now,LOL! The Panda CPU power is just amazing as it is only a Quad core but I see no difference in computing power when compared to my big desktop 8 core CPU (And Radeon R7 video card). I am using the Panda now as well to browse the net,The only thing it likely can't do is play advanced Graphic games which I really don't need it for anyway ,as that is what the big desktop does on occasion.When I get my Cylon robot running I may buy another Panda to mount on the Cylons Chrome back pack.Right now the pack just has fake light decals recreated for the Galactica TV show but adding another Acrylic panda would give it real flashing L.e.D.'s to make it look way better.If you look closely near end of vid ,the small fan and red L.E.D. is where panda is just under EZB4, The EZ3 is the flashing blue to the right,hard to see because case is see through
