I am lucky enough to be able to have one of these wheelchairs after a charity event they held for me. I was wounded in Afghanistan and am confined to a wheelchair about 80% of the time, I broke my back, neck, shoulders and knees after a Gravity assisted freefall from a helo that was being shot from under me. I want to do something for my daughters for this Halloween and need to build something to keep my mind occupied. I have this:
and want to build something that is related to something Sci-Fi. I use this term loosely because my first instinct was to make it into the tank from Fury. The frame is custom Powdercoated in Matte OD green. I also have sparked interest in my daughters in Comics, Marvel Universe, Star Wars, Sci-Fi TV and Movies and my oldest is starting a few simple Raspberry Pi Projects. My daughters are 4 and 9 and my 4 year old is very excited by Lego and Lighted items. I can tell you that the system is ran from 2 AGM batteries at 24V, I am not opposed to addding 12V step downs to it because I will later anyways for my Toughbook to run and for my Galaxy Note. I dont have a ton of money but I dont mind spending it to make things, I have a very high degree of Soldering ability and Communications background and have worked on uplink and downlink operations for several Satellites before my Military Career.
Outline Summary:
24V on board
Cannot be Permanent
I will post dimensions soon if I get any responses (Not sure I will)
Must be able to Wow the heck out of a 4 and 9 year old.
Thanks to anyone who reads this, I know time is the most valuable Commodity
