You may have seen this video of a real large ez-robot hexapod... That is a robot i built over the summer at my cabin...

Your WALL-E is so awesome, I think I'm going to build one. are the arms going extend.
The track that wall-E's arm moves in, goes back at the bottom
I enjoyed all your construction pics. I am really looking forward to seeing more on how you do your tracks, sprockets, etc. I use a lot of off-the-shelf parts but am thinking of changing tracks over to 3D printed so I can make them smoother/less friction.
My first bot was walle-like and made partly out of wood. My woodworking skills are not in your league. I did manage to get some brains and 9 sonars on it among other things. I have always thought that was something of a challenge with the Walle configuration to get good sensor placement...how and where to put sensors to get good FOV coverage. Early on I put stuff above the level of the tracks...my last bot is bigger so I embedded sensors inside the tracks.
What do you plan on doing for sensors?
@Martint, I don't think you noticed, but this conversation is from 2012. I am sure RichieRC's daughter is college age by now. He is unlikely to be reading this thread since he hasn't been here is 8 years.....

Yes...oops. Thanks Alan. I get so excited about the projects (especially Walle's and anything with tracks) that I don't go back and try to figure out the back story on the people and the dates. I'll try to tone down my exuberance in the future.
Once again, its some gorgeous wood working. I gotta give some credit even if the makers aren't listening. Art is eternal.
