Hey gratz on the Hackaday write up. I have been watching your tube channel for a while now and it is very impressive. Thanks

@apburner Thanks for the support!

Wow dude you killed it. How much did the whole thing cost?

Telepresence, it's all the rage.

Four-channel simple remote control helicopter with Wi-Fi camera with built in microphone. Very small speaker with power boost so you can send and receive messages by simply flying the chopper over. Just a thought. Would be a great source of home security too. :)

Great job! How about remote control snowblower or a vertical axis windturbine to help reduce your mother's electric bill

Thanks again for the Shout out Robert! What you should build next? hmmm... A pair of 7' Tall floor standing home theater speakers with 15" internal powered sub-woofers on top and bottom with mids and tweets at center? 17' tall Remote controlled walking robot? Segway on rubber tracks, robot to lope horses...just to name a few... I would like to see a solar powered flashlight...it would be great for a gag :) Hats off again. You did a super fantastic job here.

thank you for making this, i'm going to make one to

I'd also like to see some motion detectors installed on the lawnmower to shut it off if it detects moving body heat within about 10ft. I think it's possible to get 4 for 12 bucks on ebay. It would be a simple three wire to hook up and very little code to write. An RC snow blower with the same motion sensors on it to shut it down if moving heat detected would be a neat project too.

Really enjoyed the series. I think you should build a line trimmer robot for the lawnmower. You could probably use the power from the wheel chair batteries to power it. Building it like an industrial robotic arm would be very neat but complex. I would love to see a mechanism that stands on two wheel too, but that wouldn't have much use. It seem like such a project would be really easy to build. A solar tracker for your panels would be neat too. Thanks for the videos.
