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....

xDHey guys, glad to see I'm not the only one! You are right though when a plan does come together nicely it really is fun. I am just limited by my tools or lack of tools I should say. Next month when I move back to my Motor home I will be so happy to see all my power tools again, I missed them so much this winter! There is only so much you can do with a screwdriver and a hot glue gun LOL!
Oh well I had a dream last night! Unlike Martin Luther King's dream ,mine was the vision of Terminator as lawn mower ride on conversion, Gardening with a weed whacker/Leaf blower, in the house vacuuming and polishing floors with attachments and in the winter a possible snow blower conversion....oh yeahhhhh! Possibilities of doing something practical with this guy is endless. I have a huge lawn to cut this summer and weeds to whack so going to start planning that out!
So it is amazing to see all the robot action going on lately in this Forum! We are really living now in an amazing time period! Thanks to DJ and his vision to get this EZ controller out for the masses we can do things we only dreamed about as kids. Also credits to all in the EZ company for all the hard work they do! I guess I am the only idiot that is building 2 robots at the same time LOL! So excited at what I can do and really did dream about as a kid, My Cylon project is also coming together nicely and he is asking but where is my body sir? It is coming and it will be cool! I am building his neck servo tonight to play with EZ camera and come alive..Just like CY from the Galactica 1980 episode "The Return of Starbuck" where Starbuck crashes on the lonely planet and rebuilds the enemy cylon robot to be his companion, I am there...Sci-Fi meets real time reality!
Well so far so good with the motor testing but this is just with a light weight Nimh 8.4 volt battery and the motors are 12 volt 15 Amp so I need to see how it will work with the added weight of a wheel chair type SLA battery or 2 smaller SLA 12 volt batteries used in lawn mowers and rec vehicles. if the weight is too much I will consider a more expensive Li on Battery of equal volts/Amps. Also could get several Lipo's in parallel each at 10 Amp/Hr. Now I need to connect 2 Sonars ,EZ camera and hook the eye lights to the EZ controller...and let it rip around!
stunning how did you get the chrome on the cylon mask?
Scott down at Kropserkle sold me the un-finished kit but I was surprised when I saw he sent me the Chromed version for the same price and all I had to do was glue the 2 halves together and then glue in the mouth piece,I already had the scanner L.e.D. from Ebay so it was a great deal!
thats alot of work to make the helmet.here is the video how he makes the helmet.making cylon 's helmet
yes he saved me time by doing most of the rough cutting before sending it to me as I did say I will buy the other Armour pieces from him chromed to add for robot body, going for a look similar to the new CGI model.
