My Own Wall-e

Hi,

I knew ez-robot finding DJ's video on his DIY Wall-e:)

I'm a big fan of radio-controlled scale model (airplane, glider, boat, car, drone). I also saw the video on the AR.Drone.

So I decided there was more than a year of ordered Roli, to learn ez platform. I received it two weeks ago, I learned with as planned; o)

My goal is to make a flying drone, but to learn before with ground drone. But secretly, I also wanted to do my proprewall-e. But could not find a wall-e in France (at a reasonable price at least).

And today I won an auction on ebay uk for a 10" wall-e eek

Now that is a small servo! They are only about 4 cm long by 1 cm x about .5 ch. I wonder how fast or strong they are?

Indeed, it will not be easy to put servos in the arms

There are a few great project showcase posts which detail the conversion of a Wall-E. Getting servos in isn't impossible:)

The arms aren't heavy and if you don't plan to have them pick anything up then micro servos will work and fit easier.

Looking forward to following your build progress!:)

Hi,

thanks. I think I have allready read all posts :D

I'm not worry about servos for arms and head, but for the gripper

Put the servo in the wall-e body and use wire to pull the gripper closed with a spring return, or stiff wire to open/close them?

You will not be able to hide a motor out of sight in the hand, that's for sure.
