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

Thanks guys!
Will, every time I watch my arm move around I think of your statement; "Dave's arm could flip a car". It always makes me smile.
Have you given any more thought to your version of the B9 "simplified" arm movement and retraction system? A guy with your talent and experience should be able to really streamline this system and make it more affordable to the average B9 Builder. I tried to sell only part of this system and because of it's complexity and price I only had one person interested.
Real Smooth ! Looking forward to the next videos.
Super job.

Absolutely insane attention to detail.... Awesome!
Been watching your videos since before I joined EZ-Robot, part of what got me started here. Can't wait to see the whole robot when you're finished!
Very impressive work. Quick question how much does the entire robot weigh (approximate) ?
Thanks again for the kudos. They are good to read. I'm really happy you all are enjoying this.
How much does the whole robot weigh? Not really sure. Doing some quick math shows it up towards 400 lbs but may be less. One day I intend to figure that out.
@dave, I still believe it will flip a car
And yes I have the plans in the computer for the arms. Just finishing printing ALENA, ALANs female counter part and then I can focus my attention on it. Probably be next year, as I start the Avengers in January.
When you get ready to go public with the B9 arm just let me know and I'll get it on your B9 Robot Builders Club vendor page. Im sure the other builders will go nuts over it.
