It's a Ultimate Wall-E. I now own 2. I just bought another because the former one broke his neck shaft lock on the bottom of his eyes. He will be used as replacement parts should my new Ultimate Wall-E ever need it.

Excellent... I picked one up a few months ago on eBay. I haven't worked up the nerve to crack him open yet but I have a few ideas on how I eventually want to modify him. I'm saving him for some point in the future while I hone my skills on the smaller bots...

Have you done any mods yet? One thing I'd really like to do is replace his solar charge panel with an LCD that displays his charge level the same way it does in the movie, complete with startup sound. After a quick search it appears that the LCD from a 2.4" digital photo stand fits the bill nicely:

Might be a good platform to collaborate on!

Noisy blighter isn't he?

That is a brill idea to utilise a digtal photo frame!!

Other ideas I have had are

Laser Pico projector Clicky doesn't need focussing a bit expensive though but ultra cool to have your bot play a movie for you

Laser keyboard Clicky cheaper but just as awesome

And finally adding a Microsoft Kinect as in the Turtle Bot and ROS operating system

Loads to play with!!

I think I saw that turtlebot at maker faire. it came over when ppl were interacting with omnibot. it's given me some ideas for the kinect module in ARC

Oh great, now I need to buy a Kinect!

Was the TurtleBot jealous of the attention Omnibot was getting?

There should be some sort of universal robotics component that allows all bots to instantly recognize (and be drawn to) other bots, similar to how most living things tend to behave towards others of the same species. Would make for an interesting Maker Faire...

This is a great place to see people modding and working on robots. Anyone from Ohio?

Pennsylvania Here! All the way over on the Southeastern side...
