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....

Ya I know it's Christmas,still I can't get my mind off planning all the details for this massive Cylon project,It can be all mounted with velcro strips on to the aluminum cylinder but I think I will add brackets to hold up the pieces to the inner shell with screws,to make it stronger,so from the waist up it looks Genuine classic Cylon but at the waist it will be more Robotic/Terminator looking as there will be no Human gut there just cold tubular Aluminum. Thinking I will add brackets for the shoulder chrome pieces and extensions for the robo arms,they will have powerful servo/gears there for lifting them. My brain is still in full build mode despite the holliday distractions.I just can't use any power drills to get it done,people get mad at me right now.

And this is what the upper body will eventually look like...I wonder if this could work with a 3d printed cylon head?...https://www.misschip.com/products/ea-035
There are now hundreds of un official games and apps for Oculus Go and Quest by side loading APK files into the Go memory. Found this cool Free Demo,nearly peed my pants at the end there,well done,3D and 360 VR unfinished Alpha,still spooky as Hell!
I think I have the Chest and collar mounted pretty good and balanced, I am waiting for 3 high torque servos for the arm and neck, before I can start drilling where the Wide shoulder pipe will go. After I have the servos I can design the Terminator style arms for it. The high powered Star L.E.D's came in too so I can start playing around with them to see if they will make Decent Muzzle Flashes for the guns built into the hands. I will be using the gun sounds from the Re-imagined Galactica TV show as they sound more realistic. Of course my Cylon will talk with a modern take on the classic voice from the 80's but more clearly understandable using the Google mini bluetooth speaker and modern speech synthesizer of Google,tweeked to sound robotic. The base wheels will be made wider and longer with 6 wheels all terrain and cosmetic shiny aluminum panels to enclose the batteries and electronics,sensors.All in good time of course!

Dabbed a couple of Hot glue to the left shoulder bell just to see how it will look later when I get the shoulder rods on....The old Universal Attraction in California, we had something similar 1 year at the CNE in Toronto,I was a scared little kid going into this cave and Cylons were on one side shooting at Human warriors on the other side and we had to walk in between the Laser fight to get through,LOL!
Wow had no idea that ever existed but now with the Oculus Go i was able to watch Terminator 2 3D and it looked just as impressive as you feel like you are in an Imax movie theater and the 3D effects are so real because there is zero ghosting or cross contamination in the headset lens,seems just as good as that Universal 3
D showing!Wow here is an article showing a robo-cop type terminator or whatever in a negative prediction of killing humans...https://www.rt.com/op-ed/476705-killer-robots-save-lives-war/ I was all about that last summer getting my Terminator to intelligently seek out targets outside and fire the BB machine gun at them. That's so last year,get with the times RT! This year will be about robots with A.I. having intelligent conversation with humans. My next bot the Cylon is going to have an updated Cylon voice I am currently designing to work with the EZB and the Google Voice I use from the Google Home app. As it has the coolest voice synthesizer that can pronounce words so clearly but yet be able to modify it to sound very robotic.This will make it easy to communicate with people this coming summer when the robot goes out and about exploring. No more violence,LOL! I will still have the guns in his fore arms that pop out if it feels threatened by a human,only to shoot beams of intence light of course,flashing muzzle and sound effects but no more BB's.The classic cylon voice was cool but really hard to understand every word.Mine is going to be much better with less monotone and I am working on giving the voice different levels of pitch depending on if the conversation moves from calm to joking around or feeling scared/threatened...exciting time to be able to do this thanks to all the cool software in synthiam!
