It's just a concept right now but I wanted others to see that the scale doesnt quite match. Right now its just stacked on there and neck is a little too long.

My hubby built this with the EZB developer kit.
Moviemaker's Here Are Some Rebuild Pix Of Marti
Here are some Rebuild pix of Marti You can see the arms are from Hazbot and the neck is from Gizmo of this forum and...
Excuse the mess. I tried to crop out a bit of it. Ok a few days ago I found a way to mount the circuit board tray and still have the upper torso firmly mounted. Also I tested the main & sub power board (ATX-M4 and DC/DC step down for 7.4v) as well as the 12v audio amp. I did the mod as instructed on the EZB to take the audio input from the non-amplified point on the board and it sounds great! These little speakers dont sound "tinny" at all! I'm now waiting on parts I ordered from servocity for the neck and waist tilt. Also I need to order another EZB and get it sent to my parents so they can forward to me over here. (EZ robot doesn't ship to APO addresses because thier shipper DHL can't.
)
Anyway, I will try and get this cleaned up on my next day off and attach the torso. Then maybe a video of it being driven around by joystick.
Good luck Troy. Glad you are moving forward with this project again. I'm looking forward to seeing the video of him moving around.
Yay! I'm glad to see you back at this guy as well. Now that my second book is on the shelves I can also spend some time with my long neglected bot.
Thanks Dave and Bret! More to come.
Short vid on the head attachment and chest tilt forward and back. Besides this, I had spent a few hours reworking the bottom half in order to get the battery, circuit boards and top half to fit correctly.
Troy, Where are you located? I have been following your build. Could not play video. Steve S Edit , Tried again and it worked, nice work, thanks for updating. Great mobility on the base!
I'm in the UAE, but it may be because I was editing the post at that time. Try again. No prob Steve.
Sorry it wasn't much of a demo but its 12:30am and I need sleep, lol.
And thank you. Wait until you see the mobility of the arms when I get them on. He's going to be quite a dancer!
After seeing the vid I think I need to shorten the neck by a centimeter or two.
I also think he needs shocks on either side of his "spine" to keep him upright when there's no power. Easy fix.
Troy, Thank you for your service! You obviously love robots! I bet the arms will be great!
