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....

I am now working on a plan so that when I have people come over to visit, the Roomba can deliver beer cans to which ever guest wants one.i want to design a beer can dispenser out of a 12 volt DC cooler box that is used for out door picnics and camping.build a beer can chute that slowly drops a beer with out shaking it on to another beer can carrier on the Roomba or Terminator/Roomba. If I can write a script using The new DJ realsense plug in and camera mapping,obstacle avoidance sonar.Then do the roomba docking sequence to find the beer cooler dispenser located above infrared recharger dock. Yes my plan is formulating nicely (Doctor Evil Laughter) I do need to beware of wet shorting electronics too,must be able to stay dry if beer can bursts.

So I have about 4 robot projects and I work on 1 at a time taking breaks and then doing more on another bot.Getting the electronics setup for Cy here...thought I would also polish the Chrome. I can get it to a good 6 feet indoors and outside lower to 5 for rough terrain more balance. Just tested the car window lift motors that it runs on,both still work great .I need to buy a chrome pipe for the main shoulders and arms can bolt on with EZ HD servos.

It is interesting in this Adama/Cylon battle in the First Cylon war movie Battlestar Razor. They do show the Cylon camera,how it see it's surroundings...Cylon vision.It is almost identical to Terminator Vision scanning area.So i can use my Terminator vision App with the big Cylon I am working on. Then also use all the new Intel vision mapping camera as well. Coming up with a red eye sound effect that I can control the speed of the sound with my actual Cylon red eye L.E.D,'s and control with Synthiam Arc!

I did that for my Cy robot. I  did the sweeping red eye and the cylon sounds, when you boot up the robot. Is very cool:)

I Can get warble sweep sound as a repeating MP3 on the red eye but I am interested in making the sound lower in pitch or go higher since I can slow down the speed of the eye. Would be cool with synthiam ARC control using a script while it communicates with a human.:D

Another cool thing on my Create 2 Roomba,it has the clock/date/schedule for it to come on once a day at a certain time or certain day.I use it to wake me up in the morning like alarm clock except it just comes in to vacuum my room loudly! Does anyone know if it is possible to get at the clock and schedule by  using Laptop and Arc? This way I don't need to pull the Terminator cover plate off everytime to push clock and schedule roomba buttons?

I guess I will just need to attach the wake up connection, and then  write a script for what days and times to come on.I need to find the web site where they were discussing how to program the PC to wake it up from recharge pad.

So just watching TV on in the background. It so warms my heart to see a commercial with William Shatner even if it is a so clean Apnea equipment commercial, nice to still see him on TV after i grew up watching so much StarTrek.
