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....

Well I solved the noisy foot issue with six spider, used electrical tape wrapped at ends of feet to make cushions,works really well 80 percent more Quiet like a real spider!
Now all it needs are two red leds to make creepy eyes and some scary creature sounds!
How many eyes does a real spider have 4 or 8? I gotta check that! YA creepy some 6, most have 8.
So last night I got much improvements on the head neck and arm motors/servos. The new dual motor controller for the neck motor and for the wrist/hand rotation motors. Elbow metal rods added to support the robot carry 2 King Can beers.EZ Tiny controller just for head rotation and arms movements and to go to amplified speaker in neck,Cylon talking,heavy bass.,2nd EZ cam over mouth to be set for human facial recognition, will track movements with head motor, as lower cam I use to see dirt on Floor watching it vacuum. His attack stance works amazing, when it rotates wrists the arms are to the sides but rotate the other way and both hands are ready to fire guns. Anyway a lot done.
Well hey! I just noticed a video record option at the bottom of Camera panel controls, I never noticed that before ,or would have used it, must be new? Tried it and it seems to record smoothly for 320 mode,good in day light! I have 2 EZ cams on my Cylon now so this can be handy. I guess the EZ cam does not have a microphone for sound. Possibly try out one of the cellphone cameras to get audio and video.
