This and the next one are the same shots as in our first post. we have decided that his tracks are not the right look(not scale) so they will be remade to look right, that's a big job so may leave that to last and get him running as is for now. His motors/servos will end up mounted on his underside. you will notice quite a lot of changes since this one

Sorry didn't mean to yell. , heres a couple ideas. First is get several matching gears. Filet off the gears in a continous strips. One unmodified gear would.be.attached to.the end of a servo. When servo turns it follows the gear strip , this servo must have.another slot with guide.pins to keep it from.just turning in place , then.mount this into the.shoulder of walled arm. You can do the same system without gears using the continous rotation servos and their tires attatched. Agian in the scenario it would need guides but as. The tire rotated the shoulder would move one.direction.or.the other. The trick is the guide pins must hold the tire or gear agianst.the.inside edge tightly so it doesn't slip.

Hi Guys, Sorry for not being around for a while and thanks for kind words. It has/is taking me quite a lot longer to recover after my hospital visit than expected. I'm not going to die but some days it feels like I am. Anyway I have turned the computer on for the first time today in ages and have been trying to do a bit on Wall-e but it's slow going as I have trouble concentrating for long periods and spend most of the days sleeping or in pain. I will try and get some progress pics up over the weekend but Wall-e is coming along nicely just at a snails pace. Phoebe is doing well but wants dad to get better ASAP and so do I..lol
