So I thought I'd share my Wall-E so far. Since I haven't got my hands on a toy Wall-E I decided to build my own. The idea is to build him out of plywood later on, but I wanted to make a test version out of cardboard first, and this is how it looks so far
Got a few things to wire and so on before he is fully functional, heres a list of the features he's gonna have later on:
- Tracks for movement
- Vertical/horizontal head movement
- Vertical arm movement
- Camera in left eye
- White bright LED as flashlight (for those night missions!
)
- Distance sensor (maybe more than one, depends on if one is enugh to avoid stuff. They will be stationary, thats why I maybe have to use 2, or more)
- Temperature sensor (Why not...?)
- MP3-trigger to do some speaking
- And probably something more I forgot...
He's currently powered by 2x2800mAH 7.2V batterypacks wich I've wired in parallel. I also threw out the wireless camera battery and now powering it through a EZ-B serial port instead.
Since I love coding, I will be writing my own controller software with the C# SDK, and try to implement some AI and stuff.
Here's some pics!

Great stuff Henrik, I think we are all on the lookout for some DIY tracks that are effective but not too expensive or hard to make. Can't wait for you to have your bot on video with some AI running.

I stumbled on this gem today. Such a good job! Wondering if there was any more progress...
Lovely. If bringing life to cardboard and packing tape doesn't exemplify what EZ-Robot is all about, I don't know what is. lol
ha - this is such a great robot!! It inspires me to start building robots out of cardboard and tissue boxes again, maybe! Imagine a tissue box with cognitive vision recognition and artificial intelligence? Woo!
I'd animate that wood grandpa robot! Man, i should start looking at animating puppets or something
love I love Cardboard robots and what could be sweeter than a Cardboard [font=OpenSans, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"]Wall-E !!!
I know! Great feeling about animating something as dull and inanimate like a cardboard.
