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

Rex, I think that I will take you up on that offer as well. I'll email you too. If there are any files that you need in return, just ask.
Dave, you said that you have the "Robot Ramblings" CD. Have you thought of editing sounds off of that, with Windows sound recorder? You can copy and past parts of sounds together. If you can find the word "day" and splice it in with the end of the word "save" or even "give" or "have" and you'll have your name. It would be fussy work, and you'd have to find clips of similar quality, but I am sure that you could put together an authentic rendition of your name.
Mcsdaver, I have been working with voice changing software to try to get one of my computer's voices to sound like the original robot, with only modest success. There was talk of trying to use recordings of his voice to make a custom voice for text to speech, but there are issues of copyright. It's a shame, because I know that many people would pay a reasonable price for that iconic voice.
He would not be the same robot without his voice. My name being David, I may have a harder time editing his voice to say my name. I need to get the CD first. I may watch a few episodes and see how well I can do the robot's voice, then use some software to make it even better. Not that I am the best at doing voices, but it wont hurt to try.
I just made a clip of "Dave." I emailed it to you Dave S. I'll work on "David."
This is what the forum community is all about! Helpful people.
I sent out the emails. Hope you guys like it.
@Danger! Any chance of uploading a mp3 of "Dave"? We all would love to hear it!
..I am sure a sound clip would be a first for this Forum! pics and vids are common but a cool "imrobotation"(impersonation) of B9 would be amazing 
Unfortuately, you cannot upload wav files, or MP3s directly here. You need to link to somewhere on the web. Maybe I can put it on You Tube, or something.
Dave, does a lot of videos. Maybe he will incorporate it into one of his future ones.
