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! Thanks for the script you posted for me. I've been wanting something like that but haven't had the time to come up with anything. The perfect Xmas gift! It will go into my script menu.
I use the Pause SR command all the time. Actually I was the first to ask DJ to add that feature a few years ago. Works great. Thanks for the reminder.
You are so my hero on this I need your help on mine
Amazing detailed work.........best I have seen in a long long time. superb!
This video is of me showing(off, LOL) how the robot arm I've built for my B9 works and looks with the rubber covering skin applied. I don't have the supporting rings installed inside the rubber bellow that help hold the rubber arm in its round shape. The result is that the arm looks a little misshapen and not a rigid. However, you'll get the general idea how my arm with Will Huff's rubber skin looks to our old friend from the original TV Lost in Space 1960's TV show. I've also shown how a couple of rebuilds turned out my the wrist and claw servo mechanisms. Enjoy!
Looking great Dave! Thanks for sharing your experiences it truly is very educational and intriguing
Such smooth motions with your B9 arms!
This is so impressive! Things are really coming together well. You are light years ahead of any other arm build I have seen. Keep the videos coming!
Looking Great ! Runs real smooth, and is impressive with the skin on.
Thanks for the update

The arm skin demo was a nice watch. That's going to look the business when you get the replacement in place. It moves around beautifully.
