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

Dave,
That is a Fine job on my Favorite robot in the world!
good work!
:D
WOW! Came to mind immediately. Excellent craftsmanship. Nice work!
Thanks again for all this kudos everyone.
Danger, I understand and thank you for the suggestion. It seems like a solution I may end up going with. However I wanted to keep him "stand alone". Meaning that anyone in the room could "chat" with him, including myself, by just speaking to him normally.
Again, thanks for the interest, Dave Schulpius
Looks like a very good project. Should take to a show,a guy from this forum THOMAS my friend has a life size robot just like yours and has a photo of it and with him and real creator of it BOB may and he goes to the show alot,i forgot the name of the show,but its where all life size robots show what they can do. i got that same joke about the robot i guess you got it off the robot movie with robin willams playing in it my long term project is JOHHNY FIVE from short circuit. the site that is working on the plans is input-inc.com this is THOMAS SITE http://www.robots-and-androids.com/
The next few vids I've already shown off here in other threads. However I thought I'd consolidate them here in my project thread. I hope to be more active in posting here in the weeks to come. We'll see if I have the time.
Anyway,,,
I was showing off for a few friends over the holidays. Here's B9 telling us who he is and the laws he lives under. Right now he's working off the main EZ-B in the torso. You can see the lower EZ-B pulsing in his lower section. It's not active for this vid. Enjoy:
Here's a video of the lower section's waist rotation and a couple other things working from lower and second of two EZ-B's. I finally learned how to hold a camera! Enjoy:
B9 Discovers women for the first time:
Here's a vid of EZ-B controlling the waist rotation motor through EZ-Script in ARC. I Never thought I'd be able to pull this off but it works great! Enjoy:
Now I'm working on the radar and then up into the bubble where a 3rd EZ-B will control everything up there. One thing I'm hoping to pull off is a tracking camera up there that will tell ARC someone is walking past and his body and radar unit will turn along with that person. Now that will be spooky.
Thanks, Dave Schulpius
