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....

Maaaaan I saw this and thought it is a chrome beer keg!!! That would be the best thing ever, why did it never cross my mind before!! Just imagine, the Terminator serving you a cold beer...Hasta La Vista, Baby!! I am getting thirsty!!!:D

Hey ya a beer keg could likely fit inside and just add a tap! I had to shorten it now a few feet since it was too hard to work on that tall and I still need to add more body parts anyway. Got the back pack on with a simulated fan that hides the cheap fan decoration it had. still want to add more like the Touch screen for the Latte Panda.Oh ya and in the Battlestar universe they are jokingly refered to as "Toasters" due to all the chrome,LOL!

Well even though there is no Black Friday sale happening for the Terminator Resistance PC game, I decided to buy it anyway,as it just looks too amazing with the graphics so I will likely be gone for a while getting heavy into the Terminator universe! I also decided to buy Fallout 4 because it is on sale at about 60 percent discount and there are really cool robot battles in it.

Well  I certainly had to take a break from the Terminator PC game, It gets difficult after about 1 hour when this is when the real game starts getting good as you are about to enter the hospital controlled by psycho robots experimenting on captive humans and this is where you run into dozens of T-800 guarding the place which you can't kill yet just stun them for 30 seconds so you can run away,LOL,better weapons come later on. I was watching Battlestar Razor and some newer battlestar with the newer bots,how they move and shoot their guns, Gave me a wicked idea how to improve my real robotic Terminator arms,extend the shoulder joints and mimic the way they really shoot with 2 guns in each arm(built in) . I am bloody excited now to try this for the Cylon build,will be epic!

Edt-----side note, I am not familiar with bright strobing lights or the flash bulbs used in cameras. Can anyone suggest a really bright flashing strobe light that could simulate the muzzle flashes from machine guns? Something that the EZB could control with my relay board and reasonable voltage input? I have an older 12 volt strobe light insine my Terminator skull but is not bright enough to resemble muzzle flash.

I have decided to change the Cylon inner body aluminum can to something more human shaped for the inner Torso, similar in shape to all you guys building the 3d printed Inmoov robots. I don't have a 3d printer but I just shop for stuff online in sporting good stores,found this great ABS plastic formed body armor for football that has the look I want and the chrome will still fit over it plus light weight is a bonus.

@Robo Rad  I like the look of the body armour, I think you are going into a better more professional look.  I have to ask How you can work on robotics without a 3d printer I cannot guess.  My printer is a flsun chinese large Delta and it has made two inmoov robots, upper torso and five other robots and a talking head, all 3d printed . it was under $200.00 from china free shipping. the printer has been running over seven years, without issues.  you could use some of the Inmoov body parts to use with your Cylon.

Yes thanks that is great info on the 3d printer! I do want to get one soon as it proves to be a valuable resource when you have a part idea in your head but no way to find it or produce it. I always fall back on my artistic side and become like that miracle worker on the old tv show Macgyver who just creates important parts out of scraps he finds lying around, I am good at that...but not always.
