So....I Bit The Bullet And Purchased An Ultimate Wall-E

300.00 shipped....with remote.

ive studied the tear down pics. and i think there are a totla of 8 motors.....

i know if i use the motor controllers from DJ's store they only control 2 motors at a time and take up 5 ports on the ezb....

i think i can only put a max of 2 maybe 3 motor controlers on 1 EZB, right?

that gives me 4 maybe 6 motors....what do you guys think is the best way of avoiding putting 2 ezbs in the ultimate wall-e

Reason i m trying to do this, is because it will be awesome to keep all the originalmovement but to have ultimate control via a xbox 360 controller.

What is the best way to go about this...

one last thing....one of the motors int eh neck is a flat circle motor....a stepper motor? maybe ? not sure....ill post a pic soon....maybe you guys/ 1 gal can confirm is the ezb can power it.

thanks guys and 1 gal

Ha! we need to communicate. Would have let you had it atthe 200mark.

Anywho! Been thinking some. I figure 4 servos for each arm. This will give me full control of each hand. Up down. In out. Hand rotation and finger grips, whaaaaaaaaaaaat!

im doing this.

I also have great ideas for r2s body tilt. Projector in dome. Retrqctable 3rd leg. Dope!

Guys, I just nabbed an Ultimate Wall-e (No remote) from eBay for...$81.00!!!!!

I AM SO PSYC'ED !!!!!!!

(I thought about whether or not I should gloat, but I am so damn excited, I couldn't hold it in. I apologize.)

Now if only I could get my replacement ping sensor from EZB, I could start prototyping my plan!!!! Hint Hint

Cyberdude i don't wanna disapoint you but if you watch closely it are pictures of the wall-e u command. I followed that bid to... But also for a u-command it's cheap !!

Well, it was advertized as 17" tall. Guess we'll see. Money back for misleading advertizement otherwise.

Like I said, we'll see.

Hope you do get the Ultimate Wall-E and that's a steal of a price if you did! IMHO, a bit pricey for a U-Command Wall-E, but I guess with eBay as it is jacking up the prices it's not as bad as it could have been!;)
