Naked B9 (What I Did During My Summer Vacation)
During the hot summer months, I decided to devote most of my time and energy to the inner workings of the robot. This I could do in the air-conditioned comfort of my home office. Summers in Oklahoma can be brutal.
As you can see from the photo above, this robot is using a six-speaker, dual-amplifier system. The speakers are all Sony and are tuned perfectly to the dynamic range of the human voice. One of the amplifiers is a sweet little Alpine number that can make this B9 wail like Robert Plant, if the situation calls for it.
Sitting on top of the cd receiver (also Sony) is an Eletech QuikWave EM3028B. This is a CD quality sound repeater that I'm using for the robot's relay sound effects. Works like a charm.
Also being used is a four-channel rf transmitter and receiver that controls a series of zones for the robot. It came w/ a cool little remote that I can discreetly use to control various functions from as far away as 50 feet. Every geeks dream.
