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....

So much of the Ronald D Moore Battlestar Galactica in the early 2000's was hard hitting drama and awesome camera angles with special new effects.I still had a battle with his wife at the time on the Sci Fi channel community page.About the Silent Cylon robots,mute,no voice,pissed me off to no end. They did finally have 1 show near the end where classic cylons attacking in an old Raider ship did talk. Did I win? Not sure,LoL! Let's see if they pull the same silent robot shenanigans again!..
Very cool I just saw Ready Player 1 on the Sci Fi channel. The second time you watch, you see many things you missed. Just everything is in it, the box of Battlestar Galactica ships, The B9 robots, nostalgia posters,gorf on the colecovision. At end there was A Big track tank on the bedroom floor! Rush 2112 poster...everything we talked about last time on the Live hack night except for the Hero 1 robot,LoL!xD
Here's one you might like.
With Ontario a total prison province currently,barely anything open,can't even find robot basics like wire.Mail system super super slow like 3 months to get a Part imported from States. Still waiting on my Air soft 2000 round electric mag for the Cylon to shoot glowing Tracer BB's.Meantime, for fun, going to throw a line laser on my Hex 6 Dalek to make it more threatening.
:p
Early in this thread, I did say I would make the Terminator and Cylon interchangeable. So easy swap from 1 body to the other using same wheel carrier or Roomba the wheel carrier is for outside and this roomba carrier indoors.About 4 and a half foot tall,still vacuums nicely.
Terminator does have better balance than the Cylon body,less bulky.performs well but still has the issue with needing rear support wheel or else dust bin will sometimes drag on floor where there are no wheel.Going to add that next to let it rip around while vacuuming.
Great vacuum test here...Roomba with Custom Terminator and body shell parts from Robosapien Media.Run from my P.C. and Synthiam ARC program on Windows 10. Left hand has extremely bright Star L.E.D. that will flash as a machine gun. I have invented a similar voice to the robot Daleks from Doctor Who British TV series,TTS Google voice engine with British accent. Just need to type on computer what he will say.Vacuums floor nicely and can control where it goes with camera view on monitor. Or let it rip in Roomba cleaning automatic mode. It is a rough prototype but successful test. I now need to do cosmetic improvements to the wires and rough body areas with some chrome material I have,flexible to go aroundlower body. Oh ya forgot to mention this time I used a couple of long screws to keep the body together really tight,lets it rip around!
