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:

Sounds like construction of the second arm is in sight. I get the feeling we will soon see your friend being able to pour you that Whiskey, and tuck you in...

Hi all,

After almost a year and a half of design, building, rebuilding, refining, coading and testing I can finally say I have a working and robust arm for my B9 Lost in Space Robot! Please have a look at my short video showing off a few animations I've scripted for My B9's arm I've built. From here on, now that I've refined the scripting methoid It will only take a few minutes to code new animations for the arm using ARC with my own tweaks to make everything work together. Next I'll be working on building the other arm and getting both to work with each other. Thanks for looking!

Wow, just wow! I am speechless. I watched this video 6 times, wunderbar, fantastisch! What craftsmen ship, a long time build, again wonderful!

I also like the heads from the cast Will, and Dr. Smith beside your B9. I look forward to more of your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! That's fantastic, Dave! Been following your work for over a year, and can't wait to see the finished B9.

Thanks guys. Getting close to complete. With any luck it may be done by the end of the year. ;)

Thanks David! Your advice when I needed it helped me get to this point. ;)
