I'm not brave enough for "live hacks" yet, but this shows me updating my software, explaining how I built him, trying to remember which ports his servos are connected to (oops) and how I was able to use the stock toy switches with some resistors on 1 ADC line. I'll have to actually make him do something cute in a future video.
He is not the Ultimate wall.E that most builders get to hack, I accidently got a smaller non-motorized version (which I don't recommend due to size) but I've come to like the little guy.

Wow Justin, I’m also impressed that you fit all that in there! Excellent work!
Thanks for the video. I don’t think pictures would have done it justice, so a video walk through was a great idea!
