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....

Hey not bad 50 to 60 pounds it can take, I won't get anywhere near that much with body and battery!
Most of the Chrome body parts are now on, just need to add arms and shoulders,may need to buy some PVC Pipe to hold the Arms as servos and motors need a stable support. I want to take it for a spin around but cant make any noise now too Late.
Added his Utility belt...where the Roomba is ,that is where the legs should be,oh well, he be half there!
So I just ordered a new EZB-Tiny to use on the Roomba project! I have decided to put the Cylon body back on the ATV carrier So that it can still roam around outside and be almost 6 feet tall as well. The Cylon just looks too awesome to be stuck indoors on a Roomba.I will play around with Roomba and see what else I come up with.It can't be too heavy as the battery won't last long ,possibly damage motors.
I just have so many robot parts stored in bins from when I moved. Here I found the head cover from an old Rad 2.0 bot, seems to fit perfectly with some velcro on the Roomba. The EZB-Tiny will get here by Friday and should fit under but the serial cable connection is long. May need to coil it around the head cover. Anyway, has a really low profile to go clean under tables and chairs. For fun I will add a line Laser and a strobe!
Here I did a test using the low profile Rad robot head cover and it showcases how awesome the sensor array works,even in a messy cluttered room with wires ,bottles boots,it navigates like a Champ!...I will try out the Terminator Head next when the EZB Tiny comes in tomorrow,Just for a fun video.
Well I looked into this new technological breakthrough. Was hoping to be able to afford it but no,price of a new car in Canada.Still you rich guys in Synthiam could possibly try this out, make a great add on for large robot!...https://voxon.co/3D-visualizations-universities/
So here i found one of my 8.4 v 3000 high performance rc battery. You can see the 12 volt eye bulbs work but the one on right is a bit brighter. The 7.4 5000 Lipo is way worse dim eyes. So it is important to get the 12 volts to both eyes,current has no help. Hoping the 15 volt from Roomba will be brighter but not kill power for Roomba motors and vacuum.Will try that next,fingers crossed,if still enough power left to run EZB Tiny,All good using just Roomba power!if Roomba fuse trips then I will just try using Lipo on EZB but separate from roomba power on serial cable.If it still trips then Those 12 volt eyes will be changed to 5 volt star L.E.D.'s.
