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!

You can make anything with cardboard, Lego and EZ Robot!!!! Very cool WALL-E!!!!
Just found this, and so cool. I too get a kick out of the cardboard builds
Oh wow - blast from the past! I forgot about this robot as well. Arts and Crafts is cool when you make it robotic
It's fantastic to see such enthusiasm for building and animating robots like Wall-E, especially using accessible materials like cardboard. Henrik, your project sounds ambitious and well-equipped with features that will bring Wall-E to life in a unique way. The integration of various sensors and the use of ARC's Continuous servo Movement Panel, Horizontal Servo, and ADC Meter skills will certainly add a lot of functionality and interactivity to your robot.
If you need any specific advice or tips on configuring these skills in ARC or integrating the sensors and servos, feel free to ask. It's great to see such creativity in the community, and I'm here to help ensure your robotic Wall-E reaches its full potential!
