New robot being planned

Hi,

It's been a long time. However, I'm finally getting out of my house and moving into a motorhome.

However, until I can convince my girlfriend to join me, I will be lonely in the driver's seat. So I'm planning on making a droid head and put it on top of an old chassis that I found that is tall enough. I want to put this robot in the passenger seat and make comments about the other drivers. And perhaps my driving. :)

This robot will be mobile when I put him on the ground. I am restricted in the size of the robots that I can build based on my ability to carry then in and out of the motorhome. Not to mention the dimensions of the Doors and such. Though why a musical group has anything to do with this, I'll never know. :)

Right now I'm planning on a 3d printed fairly simple head. However, if I have the time, motors, and such, I may use the head of the "Flash Robot." (Search in YouTube for "flash robot" and you'll see what I mean.)

It's a large motorhome, but there isn't a lot of space for making, so I will have to figure out things on their own.

Have a nice day, you'll.

A little learning is a dangerous thing.

Interesting idea, but don’t

Interesting idea, but don’t think you can use the HOV lanes with that.

Good luck!

I also have a motor home which we live in several months per year, (with 5 dogs). You may want to search Youtube for ventriloquist jeff dunham’s rv. I can’t find the link to the exact file right now, but he was on Celebrity RV’s and he has a really nice shop in the motor home where he builds / repairs his puppets. You may get some ideas from it.

I don’t know if you’ve joined yet, but Family Motorcoach Assn. is a great organization to join. For only $40 / year you get a really nice magazine, travel insurance, HUGE discounts on tires, and more. Well worth the money.

oh

flash robot looks too heavy.

I’ve used galvalume for any big robots. the material is light, for a robot with height around 1 m, average weight only 5 kg.

I used this motor for most of them :
