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 here is what the hand cannon looks like when it raises elbow to aim the gun sequence of flashes from 3 watt Star L.E.D. simulates the Cylon muzzle flash from the classic Cylons re imagined in Battlestar Galactica Razor movie,2009? Or something but they were C.G.I. animated robots made to look like the classic 1978 Robots of Galactica TV movie and TV series.
On Forward marching the gun hand is a bit jerky,may replace the micro servo with a full servo so it runs smooth like the other arm does. Progress is getting there at least! Roomba is disabled for movement tests.
Stop! You're having way too much fun! Nice work!
Ha ha for sure Dave, sometimes I don't even sleep if something is bothering me, Spent last 3 hours re doing the arms to look and perform more like a realistic robot, added some EZ bits I had extra to fix arms the way they look and now more sturdy.
Made arms really strong, can easily lift beer,food tray, carry garbage bags out to location,so far running 2 EZ Hdd full servos, amazed how powerful they can hold stuff! NOW Thinking about buying 2 more for the hand left,right rotations!
Also the EZ bits adding strength.After hardware upgrading ,the actual programming in ARC is too much Fun There are as many possibilities as there are great ideas in your head!
Nice videos! Like Dave said; you are having too much fun!
More fun than a barrel of monkeys! Not that I ever had access to a barrel of monkeys, so I could be wrong about that!
