Hello everyone

I am building a robot to help me get my amplifier on and offstage. I plan also to allow people to take control of the robot's head over the internet during the show. this would allow them to experience being onstage with us. They should be able to communicate with us thru the robot afterwards. I am planning on 3d printing a cool shell for him after he is functional and try to market him.

Anyway, I have collected some pieces, namely

  1. invacare pronto sure step m51 - power wheelchair
  2. Sabertooth 2X25v2

I am ready to overide the wheelchairs set-up and install the sabertooth while I wait for the EZ-B any nuggets of advice about unhooking the batteries, etc.

thanks!

here is the first day of the build pictures with some info http://imgur.com/a/MzeXd

Well I threw all my ideas away and came up with a new idea for a droid that can walk you to the store and wait with your dog outside then carry your groceries to the park and play music while you eat a picnic, maybe accept some phone calls, do some video chat with your grandmother, play a video game, then walk you and your animal home. If it gets dark, Droid will light your path. He stays in the garage. He is like a car replacement for people who want to green up and exercise. I am calling it "the nanny" or "the Guardian"

Also, it can pull a little cart with my Amp in it.:)

this is a super quick sketch of the new designs for 1)chassis and head design 2)folding arm design 3)servo hand design

The black cylinders are motors of an unknown kind. the strut is made of steel, links, steel. the chassis will be fiberglass The head will be redesigned a lot. I don't know where that blue light would come from but it looks cool to me. I put some heavy duty servos on the hand and a floating EZ B for fun at the end.

This is pretty rough sketch so far but Does it seem functional to you guys?

Kudos to you Sleenard! Your robots are pretty cool. I like your openness to pivot from one creation to another. I look forward to seeing videos/pics of your next project(s). Happy Building!
