Power Mac G4 Robot

     Same situation as last night; last blog. It's late, I'm bored. Anyway, I was thinking of old projects related to technology like my Hackintosh and Custom PC project, entitled "Custom Hackintosh". I was also thinking of what to blog about. So, I decided to blog about my old idea of actually turning my Power Mac G4 into a robot.
     The whole inspiration for it was this obsession I had with robots mixed with my obsession with my Power Mac G4 and again mixed with a little obsession with sumo's. Okay, a big obsession with sumo's, one that lives on today. I could marry my Power Mac G4. I would sit around and stare at it, dream about it, love it. I apologize. I'm listening to mushy techno music right now, but not just any, the kind that is played at Blip Fest. (Check that out, by the way.) So, my idea was, combine my three main obsessions and make my wife. I would make this robot and marry it. It was a beautiful thing.
     I'd had it all planned out. In fact, I made the first part of a documentary film I would make about this robot. I have decided though, that my first priority is this Hackintosh. I may post this video about it, but I have been procrastinating more than usual so I don't know when. Either way, I will keep it prioritized. Anyway, I shall describe it top to bottom. It's head would be composed of six webcams synchronized into one image by software that I would write. The operating system for this robot would be Mac OS X Tiger on the Power Mac G4 itself. Below that would be a small monitor for reviewing the video along with some consoles for recording it to tapes as well as playing back those tapes which would (obviously) display on the monitor. Below that would be the chassis of the robot: the Power Mac G4 and on either side would be two boxing gloves attached to two hydraulic arms that would be controlled, along with the video and the legs, by remote control. They would move forward and backward, and they would punch. Why boxing gloves? They look cool and this robot is resembling of the ultimate destroyer. It is an art piece really, kind of an important tidbit of information. It is a robotic art piece. Then there would be the legs. They would be in a perpetually squatting position because he is a sumo and while common men walk, he shall stomp. I was also thinking of putting boxing gloves on his feet too, but I am not sure at this point. I was also thinking of having him kick, but that may be too hard.
     That is the gist of this whole robot Idea. I'll try getting around to posting that video on my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/SUM0Prod and I'll post some pictures in my next blog about this robot, such as pictures of my Power Mac G4 and the "blueprint" (doodle) for this whole robot idea. I may even add pictures to this one. (You can do that!)
