I designed IQ as a proof of concept robot.It is made of foam core 5mm thick board with .020 styrene plastic sheet overlays. He is 4.5 feet tall and can telescope its head another 8 inches using a camera tripod with motor drive. There is a windows 8.1 tablet installed on its chest. Power comes from a lithium battery pack for drive wheels and a 12 vdc sla battery for the electronics. The EZB 4 is connected in client mode. It is designed not to tip over with anti tipping brackets beneath the lower frame..The movement speed is moderate for stability. The arms are from a Robosapien that i received that did not work.I gutted the arms and installed 3 servos for each arm .It can rotate its arms ,elbows and open and close hands.

Hi everyone! My name is Sohail, owner of YouTube channel KhanFlicks, and am seeking help for my robotic Minion project....
I would love to see more pix from the beginning. You have done a GREAT job on this!
@RGordon, You worked on a Unicorn One? So did I. That was Neat looking but not very functional. Small world.

seems like a million years ago Mel
:D
Yeh, it seems like it was, I guess, 1972-1976, I don't remember. My first son was born in 1970 and it came when he was a little boy because I bought a metal lathe to work on that project. He and I worked on it together. Oh, it he was 5-7 so that would've made it 1976-1980 maybe. I don't know. We had a lot of fun with it.
Sorry. I wasn't trying to steal the thread. You have developed an Extremely nice robot.

Great job! May I ask where did you buy these drive trains ? Or the specification. They look like exactly what I need right now...
I got those motors at a surplus store.I believe they are Brevel gear motors.
I know I'm late to the thread but I have to say your project looks pretty sweet!
