I know I should finish Melvin before starting a new build but Josh's Jarvis has inspired me to give my JARVIS a physical form.
Some already are aware that I already have a JARVIS like system installed in my whole house which carries out a multitude of tasks from being an automatic PVR (like Tivo but better), controlling the heating and hot water system, controlling lights... too much to list really but one day I will attempt it.
Anyway, since it doesn't currently use ARC or an EZ-B I haven't posted much about it on here, but that's changing for 2 reasons...
- To inspire you guys to open a can of awesomeness and
- Because finally JARVIS will become a real robot rocking an EZ-B.
Basing the design around a RAD V1 robot
So far all I've done to the RAD is stripped it down - why they soldered every connection is beyond me!..
A lot of the choices I make on this project will be chosen by JARVIS. I will be adding some scripting so that I can ask him things like "What colour do you want to be?" and he will choose... this should make it interesting
Like I said, his brain is existing and has been for around 2 years, with new features being added all the time. You know what, let JARVIS tell you himself a little bit about him

@robotmaker You fail to understand the part where I said this is to dust off the cobwebs and get me back in to 3D CAD. Nobody has said they also want to make one, if they do I will be hosting the files on some of my webspace so that they can alter and resize as necessary.
The instructables ones are very poor and not anywhere near what I want. Plus the size of it needs to be pretty much spot on and so far nobody has made one that's the right size.
Time to check that box in settings again
Are you going to wrap the sections with solid core magnet wire for "authenticity" ?
@winstn @rich - I heard makibox Was bringing a machine for display. If they do I will see if they don't mind doing a demo for us. I get to go to a pre-show party the night before and hang out with venders without outside spectators there. So if they come I will talk to them.
They will be wrapped with copper wire stripped out of 6491X pvc covered copper cable. Weather it'll be one continuous wrap per block or a bunch of strips just stuck on is undecided and will come down to what modifications I'll need to make in order to wrap them.
I was tempted to get the finned lower section made from aluminium too, but that's going to be inside the robot and barely seen so spraying a nylon printed part should look OK.
I can't find any palladium to use in it, no hardware stores stock it
Its not too hard to find..

Only $7745 for .999 fine palladium
YEA RICH thats cheap.
Decided to make the project public on the cloud
Haven't done anything on it for a few days since I've been away but it may help people out.
White! Dang robots "seem" to have a mind of their own
Well, white IS a neutral color which other things/addons will def standout...like a bowl of icecream and strawberries on top!
