Autonomoues Wall-E

Hello everybody! My name is Alessio, I'm italian and a new member!

I just recently purchased an Ultimate Wall-E robot of Thinkway, and my goal is to turn it into an autonomous robot, just like djsures did with his Wall-E. I wondered, as my model (Ultimate) is very large (about 16" tall) how can I make an internal system, so as to make it independent from an external PC on which to run the ARC? Should I insert a PC in Wall-E? If so, there is a very small system (such as a cubieboard) which can run Windows and the ARC? Any other suggestion is welcome.. I really want to make a robot that does not depend on an external PC...

PS: please, forgive my bad english...

I am sure more experienced guys than me will jump in and help you. It sounds like a great project though so good luck !

I just wanted to say that I'm from England and your English is far better than most people who come from England ! Don't apologise - your English is amazing !

Cheers,

Jay

There are a few Windows 8 tablets which can run ARC. The Acer W3, W4 and W7 for instance. They may fit in there.

Hello :-} Another one that will run ARC is the HP Slate 7, I know because that is what I have :-}

Yo

I have the same ultimate wall-e. No one here has tried to do one.

You can find some nice dissection pics of it on flikr.

How much did you get yours for?

I'll look it up now.

There's a teppee motor in the neck...other than that. Looks pretty easy.

I paid 350
