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 I added both Ultrasonic sonars to the chest plate,insulated and the 5 volt regulator supply has enough juice to power them up with a the Cylon heart beat light,will activate when ever moving forward to also indicate Sonar on.Just need to add sonar wires to controller pins.
I have noticed a frustrating bug in the basic free Arc,not sure if this happens with paid subscription version. Say I'm using EZB4 with servo at digital port 11, if I change to a servo that overloads like a cheaper 5 volt servo that overloads on 7.4 battery.That port will no longer work even if you put back the original servo. This has happened twice to me and I feel upset that I blew that one port. Relax, port is actually fine. All need to do is turn off controller,restart ARC program and open a new project or saved project. Now that port 11 works good as new! ( JUST happened but I remembered last time the easy fix) So new guys that may cause a short by mistake,don't give up try this trick first before you toss that EZb against the wall!xD
Watched part 2 of the new season book of Boba Fett 2022,while the first episode was okay, this second part made no sense at all,very disappointed really. Thought by the end some story would be clear, nope!
I Removed old magnet analog motor from original V2 arm wrist rotations,added servo to arm side which now screwed into wrist hand for superior and more easy ARC programming. I am contemplating how to make finger /thumb grip stronger with high torque servo so it will be able to carry heavier payloads as in a bucket filled with several bottles or drink cans, butler and floor cleaner all in 1 security cammed robot Cylon classic!
Hey sorry guys so many posts lately,trying to document all my steps in upgrading this robot,step by step.Speeding through this build to get it done so I can concentrate on the cosmetics. Will be needing a new helmet,way too many scratches or a rechroming shop.This is the ARC programming when Roomba forward command executes it looks more alive.wait Til I add the machine guns to hands and add aggressive shooting poses!
Nothing new today, discovery Channel has Street outlaws fastest street drag cars in America Marathon!
wow does that entire robot sit on the roomba?
Hey DJ, it does but with trial and error I got perfect balance on the Roomba and on the 2 turning wheels behind it. Got that idea from your snow shoveling robot! It can even carry a 12 volt lead acid utility/tractor battery for unlimited driving power....I spent a few hours getting the EZ Hex spider working again with similar camera A.I. that the Cylon has.Since I repaired the extra camera with Jer's advice.
