I Need A Wheelchair

I'm building a tank-like robot, and i'm buying a pair of wheelchair motors. I was wondering if these motors require the motor controller that was originally on the wheelchair? I'm going to buy some controllers for the tank (that control the flow of electricity from an input signal given by the remote). Would these controllers need to be linked through the original controller or just to the motors?

It depends what you want to achieve.
For sure the motor controllers provide a great deal of things you want, but reverse engineered-it to modify it for your goal may be quite a challenge.
It’s like asking do you need a transmission on a car.
There are many vehicles like lawn mowers and tractors that do not have a transmission!

Hope this properly answers your question

Nathan, a student with cerebral palsy, is about to walk for the first time with the assistance of the Free Stand-N-Walk. If you or a loved one has ...

I just need to know how to set up my lights. I have 3 photogenics and I don't want the lights to show up in the reflection of the wheelchair.

You have to set up the correct lighting for the person in the chair!

To minimise reflections from metal parts of the chair, go to the camera store. Here you can buy a 'spray' which will dull the look of metal and so minimise reflections.

If you are just photographing a chair, can you do this in a 'white tent'? Or photograph it in a room with white walls and point your lights to the walls and photograph the chair just by the 'bounced' light.

My bunny is a flemish giant at 17lbs. He was taken to the vet for absesses on his back leg that turned out to be cancerus. The vet has to take the leg off to save him. Does anyone know where i can find plans to build/make a bunny cart/wheelchair for a extra large bunny? I need these to be simple and easy to build. I only have acess to a home depot.

You should probably have the rabbit put to sleep. You might be able to build a wheelchair, but think about the poor rabbit's quality of life. It's selfish to keep the rabbit alive and suffering just so you can still have a pet.

We have a child's manual wheelchair that our daughter has outgrown. We are travelling to the D.R. (vacation) in Feb. Would like to take this chair with us for someone who needs it. Wondering if anyone has done this before?
They don't weigh it when we are travelling with our daughter. I will contact them ahead of time and see what their policy is regarding donations. Hopefully, no charge.

Very good idea. It would go along with your check-in baggage. Hope the airline staff don't weigh it.

we need to transport a senior disabled wheelchair-bound man to a hospital, either today or tomorrow. it's an emergency.

Try calling Accessible Vans of America at 1-800-687-4446 or Wheelers at 1-800-456-1371. They are nationwide wheelchair accessible van rental companies, comparable to Hertz or Enterprise. Otherwise you are going to have to call an ambulance company near Santa Clara.
