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.

@Doombot- So last off topic question, what are you playing these days?

Most of these parts are scratch built, but I didn't say I used old guitar parts, I said ill use parts from MY guitars, I build and manufacture them, so they're not "used". My guitars are biomechanical abominations haha
I am gonna use mini pneumatic cylinders (air) for the arms, controlled by a solenoid, speed is controlled by the air valve. I'm gonna use potentiometers to measure feedback.
The linear actuators (12vdc) are gonna be used on the lower body. I'm gonna use relays to control that.
Nice Work;) Dig the XO Skeleton quite a bit. Thanks.
That is so Awesome! Finally someone has built a Terminator, the ultimate end all machine of mankind. Would love to see a production run of those. Just think, Cylons, Terminators. Cybermen.....build a small army of them, send them over to Afgan... So cool!
@RoboHappy Thanks man! I appreciate that. I have finished most of the torso section and the bottom half I may post more pictures tonight. The right arm is coming up too, identical to the left only with a different hand.
Doombot V1.0 Stands upright via linear actuators (in the back) at 5'1".
Here's a closer look at the arm of doom, and the "other" hand. That's a squirtgun mechanism inside.
More to come! The bottom half is gonna be covered in aluminum plates. No wheels are gonna show. Also I still have the torso motor mount, I just mocked this up to see where I'm at so far...I guess that may add another 2" to the height. I might have to trim somewhere, if the proportions are not right (in my eyes).
Thanks all for the wonderful comments. This is way too much fun for me. With the exception of the motors and electronics, most of the stuff I used to build is just stuff around my garage...
The more I look at it its starting to remind me of the Sith...Its got like a General Grievous feel to it haha. Maybe a cloak and a lightsaber? I can call it Darth Doomicus haha
