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....

The originally series I don't remember all the ins and outs of that.  There were lizards, right?  FaceMan on it!  Now the the 2000's Ronald D. Moore series I remember the heck out of that...those Cylons were built to serv humans until they turned on humans.

Sooooo, just program your Cylon to be friendly and serv humans.... and wait for it tor turn... THEN, it's an accurate full recreation of a Cylon. ;)

I mean if you get bored you could force the issue and set a random timer code script to turn your Cylon evil at an unknown interval so you have to prepare and be on guard for a Cylon attack all the time!    If you do, you need to vlog and live stream that stuff!!!  xD

Haha ya! I had a similar idea to program key words to be used as to transform the robot into defensive mode depending on what humans say to it in conversation! You are right the original cylons killed there creators that were Lizard Aliens and the Imperious leader was always a Lizard shaped robot designed to pay respect to their Lizard origins.

I try to stay on Terminator and robot related subjects here but an interesting Terminator-Arnold side note, Did you know Arnold has a son that looks like a young Johnny Depp,so I was just watching a new movie out from his son, very impressed with his acting skill,good movie too,check it out called Daniel isn't real 2019.

I am always on the look out for anything robot related and damn I think I need the Oculis Rift VR head set in order to try out these incredible P.C. VR robot games,there are 2 that I would like to try ,here is one of them demo...

Well after a search it seems that this VR experience can be had on the newest Oculus Quest which needs no PC it is stand alone using google phone tech built into the headset with OLED display just as good as the thousand dollar Rift But at a cheaper price of 399 USD. Unfortunately super popular just before Christmas and sold out everywhere,good luck finding one until the new year later on

I bought a Quest some time ago, to build the remote VR control for my robot... I thought, I will only use it for tinkering and building stuf, well!!:D

It is my recommendation for VR at the moment! Low level entry price, good screens, 6 DOF tracking and all the hardware you need is in the device...so it is basically plug and play!!

And if you own a PC the meets the requirements, you can also ply Oculus or Steam VR from your PC!! Check out the Oculus Link feature, its in Beta at the moment!!:)

Yes you are correct I just spent 2 hours watching comparison videos between Quest and Oculus s and it seems the slightly older Oculus S is getting described as obsolete now that Quest can also link to your high end gaming computer with a 20 dollar USB C cable and they are both selling at 550.00 CND  at best buy and Amazon.Quest can do way more things and run just as smooth with sharper OLED screens and run all types of 3D movies while you are out and about riding a bus,so ya ,I will be getting one my brother has 2 drones as well that would look cool flying with the VR on.

I know but now i need to decide which to buy first.Hours of fun 3d printing or hours of entertainment in 3d on the Quest!
