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

@Steve, It starts when power is applied. I can't remember at this time if that's a feature that needs to be set up or if it just happens. I I remember, I think that is set with one of the push buttons that hang off the unit. Once it's set it follows the setting each time power is applied. There is free software available from the company that lets you change things and install the sound files.
Thanks Dave
You're a gentleman and a scholar

Hi all,
I've been wiring up my B9 arm today and took a few pics to share. While I was cobbling and wiring I started feeling like a orthopedic surgeon. I thought I'd share the pictures with you guys. Please see the attached pictures. Enjoy:
Almost done! Peek A Boo! Daddy, What you building there?
Looks amazing!
Hehe love the last shot with your dog , head cocked sideways like what is that high pitched sound?!?
Everything is looking amazing !
Just how did you get that puppy to hold that pose ?
The arm looks like a prop out of a Robo cop movie, great engineering.
Thanks guys!
@Robot-Doc, I didn't know the dog was there when I took the pic. I just got lucky with the shot I guess. I know what you mean about the look of the skeleton of the arm. It's almost a shame to cover it up with Will Hoff's (fxrtst) silicone skin. However it's a work of art in it's self and I'm proud and fortunate to have his B9 skin. It makes the robot look like the real deal.
Really nice work Dave!
I am going to make a guess, is that Belle in the neat picture? or is it Skye!
