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,
I’ve alway admired your work and your attention to detail is first class. I enjoy listening to you videos and it’s certainly a labour of Love.
Enjoy your retirement in Florida, if you have your health then you have the most precious thing, as time is currency in my mind.
Cheers Chris.
After 3 months and moving my home 1400 miles cross country I'm finally uncreating and setting up my B9 Robot from Lost In Space. Pull up a chair and get some popcorn. This 40 minute video follows my hijinx of unboxing and setup of my old friend. It took me 5 years to build this guy and to animate him thanks to EZ Robot. I still have lots to do. I've been dying to get him back together.
It's ALIIIIIIIVE!
Looks like you both made the trek unscathed - and you are looking quite relaxed!
I was going to ask if the pinballs went too; looks like they have (yay!).
I'll be knocking on your door in late January!
avery time i see the B9 ,its amazing work what you have done.
@Tex, Yep, we made it! All seems well. Didn't lose anything of value and hardly any damage. That's huge considering what was moved and how I did it. I sold 5 pins because I would not have the room in this new house. It was a sad thing to do but in the end the extra cash came in handy. I'm looking forward to your visit when you get into town! When we sit down for that adult drink I'll be even more relaxed. LOL
@Nomad, Thanks for the kind words my friend. It means a lot.
Dave, Great to see your boss B9 operating again. Looks like your special packing paid off. I think the scene where he is looking around, he was deciding which pinball to play later. Thank you for sharing. Steve S
@Steve. Lol, ya, he plays a mean game of pinball. It's good to have him set up and running. Feels like home again.
can't wait to start ez scripting again.
Once again I feel completely emasculated, lol. Really Dave, your commitment to this project, which means a lot to me personally, is unparalleled. You should be proud of what you have accomplished here.
