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....

Yes that is a good idea to try, wider platform and 3 more castor wheels could work great,then more sonar and bumper sensors.

So my working robot collection is re growing after I lost so many last May because of this "Great reset"going on. The virus is the front they use just a cold,LoL! But they forced me to get rid of my summer motorhome with no time to sell,evertthing including most of my robots ended up at the dump,no choice:( Slowly building my collection back. Nomad sent me his extra hex 6 EZ Robot,coming tomorrow!:DCant wait to get that, gonna call it my personal Replicator guard Spider! There is also this cool effects company that animates robots but I do remember DJ doing similar with the xbox360 kinect camera,which I have,want to try on my Robosapien Media bot, possibly 3d print extra long arms, legs,servos to copy human poses! https://youtu.be/WsYx6jEzX2A

Ha ha, the people living downstairs are going to be so annoyed, building a Roomba speeder with much larger 360 degree trailer wheels allowing full Roomba spins 360 degrees really Fast....Donuts! Will try first with Terminator riding it then the huge Cylon but I need to find my drill/screw gun firstxD

Nice, found my skill saw And cordless screw gun. Cut out the mid section of support carrier. Now Cylon body fits nicely in the middle and I can still access Roomba buttons under Cylon when it is attached ,this is going to be one mean mopping machine when done!

Well It works about 50 percent since the front bumper sensors are obstructed by the new cover plate(Oil Pan) is just an inch too wide. Bumpers do not get close to any objects to activate. Only the Infrared sensors still work as it can dock at the end by itself to recharge,successful there. Man that Roomba has plenty of powerfful torque,will easily hold a large 5 foot robot body, just need to add my Sonar sensors to avoid the walls and tight corners. Still need to work on getting it right before I try any robot on top.

Anyone remember the Venus Probe robot on the 6 million dollar man 70's tv show? I think mine is way more noisy and destructive,LOL!!
