Homemade HAL9000

Homemade HAL9000
After watching 2001 A Space Odyssey I decided I needed my own HAL 9000- except less evil.

This uses a BS2, PIR and will pulse when it detects motion.



Hopefully this has a positronic brain which will observe the 3 laws of robotics and not turn on me.

dude, i found great all the electronics you pulled in here, but i think the HAL Prop isn't that great. maybe a little more tweaks to look like HAL. but if you manage to pull a more realistic look, then you sir, will score a win.

I like to tinker with just about anything, sometimes it works out in the end. Have fun looking at the projects, try tearing something open and let me know how it goes. cheers, -Joe
