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. Wow I have no life, lol.:) Great video with lots of info. Your dedication and perfection is great. I've watched Many if not all of your videos and have yet to see how you would get your B9 outside.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks Merne. I'm glad you're enjoying my progress.

Your LISR is amazing Dave, very smooth motion and very quiet.
May i ask what arcade games you have there?
Thanks newagetomy for the kind words about my robot. I'm glad you enjoyed the humor.
Before I got sucked into the robotics would and lost myself in it I collected and restored pinball machines from the 80s and 90s. I have 15 pins between two rooms in my finishedbasement. I also have a video pinball machine and a Mame arcade game. Both where built by me. Lots of fun for all. Thanks for asking.
The video pinball machine sounds great, and the old pinball machines would be timeless, can just imagine the sounds from them.
I'd never heard of MAME before-Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator?
I love those old games, and i hope that software is never lost or forgotten.
The Mame arcade game you built, is it just the one game or is there a few on there you can play?
There's thousands. All the classics. The trick is to get them set up to run on this machine using these controls. Each game usually has it's own configuration settings that can be fiddled with.
Hi Dave. Hope you are keeping well buddy.
Had a bit of spare time and wanted to see your progress with B9. For the changes and mods you have done since I last looked in, I can only say that what you have done... is fantastic.
Just watched your 3 day neck mod and it’s looking great. I do respect your perseverance and from the looks of it, it was well worth it. With the better range and ramping, the head/neck movements really do look great. 1st class job.
Catch up with you soon my friend.
Hi Dave, If you get a chance, can you post a video of your Mechanical Marvel in action again? Some of us remember seeing his antics on tv, but wonder what he would think of today's world, with even cars being sent into space.
Regards, Ron
