Hello all, Been here for a while now and I thought I'd share my project with you, DoomBot V1.0. He's a big one, a little under 5 feet tall. I'm still working on the platform, haven't really decided just yet, but I did get 2 wheelchair motors. Nothing is wired up yet, I'm still planning on adding a bunch of stuff on it so we'll see. The arms are all dc window motors and a pneumatic cylinder. Comments appreciated!
Influences are T-600-800, Predator, Alien (I live for H.R Giger). I'm sculpting all the panels once all the hardware is crammed in. This is gonna have a real sick exoskeleton, both for looks and strength. See my website to get an idea.

Seriously blown away! Great work. I'll be keeping a very close eye on this one, just awesome
Can't wait to see this one up and running.
@MovieMaker, @Rich Thank you gentlemen! Keep in mind this is just the skeleton...shells are gonna be made. I'll try to document as much as I can. The bottom half is being worked on, but not pretty enough for photos just yet. The same tilting system that the neck has, only using bigger 12V linear actuators.
@dschulpius I'm gonna be using relays to trigger the motors...using photo switching so nothing is physically touching the EZ-b. I have a DC/DC converter thatll put out +5Vdc, +12Vdc, and -12Vdc to control speed and direction. These are worm geared motors so there pretty slow, but I'm going for that "effect" anyway. I want to create a monster! haha. I'll be using potentiometers to measure feedback.
I'm also gonna employ a UPS system to where I have an A and B battery pack, that switches when the A is being used, the B is being charged, and vice versa...more on the details when we get there.
Super cool! Great Job... Keep the photos coming...!
@doombot- awesome looking bot.i wanted to sub to this post so, i have to ask, do you have the geiger ibanez?
Thanks Antron007 !
No I did not get the Giger Ibanez...any version. Simply because mine are better. I hate Ibanez. Overrated overpriced crap.
Doombot You've got a Great design going, I certainly will be glued to this thread for your progress and contribution towards the "big bots" !
@Robot-Doc Thanks man! Yes I am pretty excited how this is gonna turn out its my first bot!
Doombot , I know that you said that was parts from old guitars, how did you build that? Are you using air pistons or linear actuators? So cool. Looking forward to more. Steve S
