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 Cylon arms are ready to attach to body,going to use heavy duty bolts that attach at shoulders and then a servo attached there as well,the shoulder has a hole that is slightly larger than the bolt so it can move freely with the servo,the arms each have 2 hdd servos and one wrist motor that is analog original.
These look great!!!
Hey thanks Mickey, I did borrow the Terminator arms and made them slightly longer to be that of a real man, I then put the original body back together with the Terminator who is now just a statue until I get a 3d printer so I can make more authentic Terminator exoskeleton pieces in the summer,then add new servos again to the 3d printed arms and waist,neck possibly a jaw servo too.Ya poor guy now he just watches over me building the Cylon. I am thinking of making a video where both robots come alive in the middle of the night and start planning the take over of society.....to be continued.
So this idea I got from the Heart beat light on the EZB v3 ,I believe it was Jeremy that said he designed that cool little feature on the board. I got this Heart beat L.E.D. triple light set up from a halloween decoration,very bright so I thought wow, the perfect Cylon heart beat,kind of like Iron Man! Gotta credit Jer for this idea and DJ for the entire EZB concept of course.
Wow, this is fantastic!
I always loved the heart beat light on the V3 EZB. When the V4 came out I was really disappointed it was gone.
I'm looking forward to seeing how your arm servos work in this application and how they are applied. Is there any chance you could do a video of the building process along with a completed working test?
Nice work so far!
It won't take me long to attach the arms I just need to drill a couple holes for the long bolts and then start programming the motions with the EZB, I got lazy with my Oculus Go watching tons of Kodi 3D movies, I just watched Terminator Genisys 3D,what a blast that was!
I'm really looking forward to seeing the whole project in action too. Well done
