Hi all,
I'd like to share a video I just took of my full size Lost in Space B9 robot that's controlled by two EZ-B controller boards. Right now they are controlling limited movement and voice response of a few motors, lights and sound files played from a Sparkfun MP3 Trigger board. Although I'm just starting with the animation and have more building on the actual robot the result (mostly thanks to the EZ Robot controller board) is shocking. Please have a look at this (4 minute) You Tube vid and enjoy.
Please excuse some Technical camera lighting and sound issues. This is the first time I'd made and posted a vid online.
EDIT 8/2/13: Just realized I have no good pictures of how my B9 will look when complete. Here's one of the actual TV robots from the 60's TZ show Lost in Space and one recent shot of where I'm at with my build over 1 1/2 year after I started. Enjoy:
Thanks, Dave Schulpius

Hey Dave! Thanks for the video...its Freaking awesome! It Must be great to see things coming together. The voice recognition issues are always challenging but your efforts have been amazing. I thank Tameion's VR script and will definately try them on FRED....the pursuit of excellence continues

This build is amazing. You are giving life to one of the best robots to ever be on television or in a movie. I have a 2 ft tall B-9 that will be getting his own EZ-B when I get time to work on him. I have a few other robots ahead of him right now. They both have an EZ-B in them as well. My android may end up with many EZ-Bs as she will have amazing movement in her face, arms and hands. Hopefully even walk someday if I can afford the servos she will need. I love the way you are using the robots voice. I need to get MP3s to play on command for mine.
The VR script I posted only displays four voice commands at a time.... I have asked @DJ Sures if he can expand it to around ten.... this would be a great help IMHO.
Keep up the good work team!
Absolutely amazing work man! Really.

Thanks for the kind words. However, I'm still learning and by no means know enough to teach a class. I do however know a few tricks and am willing to pass them along to anyone in need.
