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

Sweet! Kinda like this:
Well, there's a start. I have seen this picture before, and can't help but wonder, When they loaded up the "Jupitor 2" to head for Alpha Centuri, who had the inclination to pack a Shirley Temple wig that would fit the robot.
But I digress.
:P
Dude you rock, I have been designing a 5 foot opensource walking robot just for EZ-B. When I'm done it should be 3D printable. My goal is not to use any arduinos if I don't have to. I want nothing but EZ-B so I teach my daughter how to operate it. I'm like 85% done with the 3D CAD Drawings. You have truly inspired me to keep going. Thanks
Cross dressing B9! lol A G9 sounds cool.
Dave, (or any one else that has a B9 Robot) I have a .wav file that says "Incoming Email Transmission" using the B9 Robot's voice. Do you have this already? If not, Email me and I will send it to you.

That's awesome! Thanks, I will send an email right away. I wish I could find one with him seen my first name.
@Dave It would be cool if someone made a B9 voice synth. Then you could just type what you wanted and he could say it.
@Rashad Sounds like an amazing project. Is your walker going to be humanoid? I will be printing parts for my humanoid robot. He is under 3 ft tall. I am building a full scale android, but only internal parts will be 3d printed. I hope to give her latex skin.
