Magnus the 6 ft robot

USA

Hello, My name is Rex and I am building a large robot. His name is Magnus. He is 6 ft. tall and will weigh around 300 lbs. He has wheelchair motors driving tank treads. He looks similar to the B9 robot that appeared on the old TV series called Lost in Space but , I claim no ties to Lost in Space. I will post more pictures soon. I was very excited when I found the E Z Robot kit. I want to order but have some questions. Looking forward to discussing all kinds of topics here.

Best regards,

Rex

Thanks Troy and Bret. Yeah it's like someone hit reboot and now I'm starting over. It's like trying to change the course of three rivers. We have them back on track and they are doing well in school. Jacob is the biggest challenge. He has Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and is quite the handful. Justin is becoming my little robot building buddy and I am helping him learn electronics. Having someone to teach is beneficial to my life.

@ DJ......Thanks for creating such a wonderful device that is inspiring young and old to dare to dream again and enter into the amazing world of robotics! You are my hero sir!
