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

YEA looks like a very good build and design.keep making it better my friend
Dave, You have truly built an amazing robot. Your professional touch to every detail is awesome. I love looking @ your videos on how each level operates. There are so many great robot builders using EZB that are encouraging to me. Thanks Steve S.
Thanks again everybody! Im having a blast!
I've been using Novis 1,2 & 3 on pinball play fields for years. Works great on diamond plate and automotive clearcoat. I like to use a random orbital car buffer starting with a mix of 2 & 3. Then move down to 2 then 1. The playfields look like glass afterwards and the balls fly!
I have not had as good of luck on clear acrylic. I always seem to have a haze left over. I am afraid to try this on my bubble and leave it looking foggy. It would be like looking through dirty sun glasses.
You are living my dream. Keep up the good work Dave!
Thats wierd DAVE it works great ,no haze on my omnibot clear acrylic dome after i use the polish last.and we use it all the time at work for other plastics mostly lexan and pexiglass,dont get too much acrylic used at work too brittle.
I would i know toothpaste does leave a residue on some plastics why we dont use it anymore,but great news they gave a lot out at work when we stop using it.
Here is idea do a test patch on area you cant see,or take a piece of scrap acrylic and scratch it and test .
WE at work test the products always on scrap plastics first using different ideas to find the best one,main reason it goes to customers so it has to be 100% perfect,or they wont buy any more of our products we sell.
DAVE, you have achieved my lifelong goal. But, I had several chances and blew it.
I am happy for you. Someone had to make this beautiful creature.
Kudos!
;)
I bet the company you work for DAVE USES our test equipment from buried wire finders to hot sticks to tic-tracers to super high current probes or 2000 amps,and almost every in-house testers design by me,pcb,qc ,final and in-qc.
Also one tester i design and made is so strong it would pull you in to the machine Just think it 10000 amps (yes amps) at AC pure sinewave would do.
