Wheeler Chair Robot

Skip to comments   Jump to end

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....

I am unsure what to do here as the vacuum chrome plating process has sealed the Jaw movement shut. I really want to un freeze it and put in the new type of muscle servo wire and then control his jaw movements with ARC software "Talk servo" Function. This really bugs me as I don't want to damage the chrome around the cheek bones if I tap it with something, Possibly will try to put Allen key wrench and see if it will come loose but I am scared to crack anything. The skull was originally put together as separated pieces and that jaw should be able to move if screws are loosened.

I changed to an 8.4 volt Nimh 3 Amp and the base motors drive good with out weight but probably should add the 7.2  5 Amp Lipo battery for testing tomorrow,more current will help.Can't test right now because somebody is freaking out about all the robot motor noises last night,LOL! Want to try it tomorrow with the Robot on top as the bust weighs 10 pounds ,I don't yet have the proper 12 volt wheel chair battery or the high current H-Bridge so trying it tomorrow with old H bridge rated for only 5 Amps. Motors rated up to 17 Amps so hopefully there will not be a smoke show. Using just cardboard box for battery box Mock up test, This is not final robot body configuration,just a test.

Oh ya, no smoke show running at about half power goes perfectly and weight is no problem for these car widow lift motors. With the Tank treads put back on this robot can likely climb any hill ,dirt,gravel big grass outside! Why does this thing remind me of Stephen Hawking........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OH8s4N15zdg

so The Cylon helmet kit just came in from Scott down at Kropserkel --- https://www.facebook.com/Kropserkel/ and it is perfectly chromed already all I need to do is put it together and since it is made to be a real helmet for a human to wear a cylon suit ,this helmet is very light weight unlike the Terminator head 5 pounds The Cylon material is strong and it has the real Chrome covering it and it is shiny! This will actually work great with my neck up down left right servo!

For sure,owning my 2 favorite sci-fi robots is a dream I have had since I was a kid and to finally be able to source the body parts and affordable electronics, bring them to life ,mainly thanks to EZ-B for making it easy to learn simple coding.
