I’d like to present to the community "Little Frankie". He was too scary at 7 feet tall, so I had to cut him down to about 1 foot.. He’s made up of a little bit of this, and a little bit of that. He has 12 Volt motors, and powered by a Venom 2200MaH 11.1V Lipo battery. Currently I have him running on an EZ-B V3 board, but soon I will transfer him over to the V4 (as soon as I buy another one). I’m waiting on some grippers to come in, but if they don’t come in soon I guess I’ll have to make a trip to the cemetery and grab a few body parts, ha, ha, ha. Once transferred over to the V4 I’ll be adding a few more items to him. Below are a few pictures of "Little Frankie" in the makings.

Very cool! Looking forward to seeing a video!
Thanks for posting
What kinda voice are you gonna hook up with little Frankie ?
@irobot58, thank you. when I get the grippers and, do a little more scripting I'll post a video.
@Robot-Doc, that's a good question. I'm open for suggestions.
I have a home recording studio. I can record some tracks and manipulate the sound to fit the character, but I guess I'll need an MP3 trigger to save them to.
@joseph4760 You won't need a mp3 trigger with the new ezb4... You can just use the soundboard control that is built into ARC.... Also, make sure you swap out that 11.1V Lipo for a 7.4V lipo when you get your V4... The servos you are using won't like 11.1V....
Wow! Neat!
Where did you get a 7' Frankie?
This made me laugh dude...love your sense of humor, Can't wait to see the outcome...
