As you may know, a Dalek isn’t a real one unless it moves. And most crucially, a Movie Dalek is not a remote controlled thing, its got an person on it making it move, talk, fire etc. So, the most important thing to do is get something to make it move. Casters is not an option since the dalek is definitely going to be heavy. Moving it on an incline is going to be a nightmare with casters alone and someone inside moving around ‘flintstone style’
Ok, so I managed to find a beaten down wheelchair (thanks Keith!), but it's battery is flat and unusable. Not only that, but Freek having checked out the control unit has pointed out that may also be dead – a great start 🙂 Anyway, not to be deterred, the illustrious Freek continued on his march of converting the four wheel to a three. This is because the Dalek needs to be able to rotate literally ‘on the spot’. First, here’s that wheelchair.
Can't have two wheels on the front.
