Technopro's Wall-e Continued

I am sorry to say that my $300 wall-e is a failed project.

he fell apart during testing and his software is messed up.

he is missing an arm and his track fell off and broke 3 plastic welded points.

i am not sure about completeing him after this.

Don't give up! Take a break. Broken parts can be fixed as well as the software. Sleep on it and try again later.

thanks troy.

im mourning the lost heavily

I agree with Troy.

For my Wall-E project, I have:

• Made too big holes for the continuous servos of the wheels and had to reconstitute the chassis.
• Killed an EZ-Camera (by soldering failure I think) and add to buy another one and redo the wiring
• Made 4 different systems to fix the second eye (not connected to the mini servo) to the first one.
• Re-open a dozen of times Wall-E's chassis, when It thought everything was finished,
• Kill the EZB fuse
• etc...

And It don't talk about scripting....

But I have learn a lot and I think I am ready to a bigger project... Don't give up!

i have extra treads if you need em....

as far as the head tilt.....i put up tons of piucs of y set up for the head.

i get full function (up, down, left, right and eye tilt) 2servos in each eye and 2 servos in the neck..

in the threards look for "pics of progress" just updated the thread..

let me know about the treads...ebverthign else seems like it can be fixed...

also troy walked me off the ledge too a while back...iw as so frustrated. but i can honestly say take some time off the project and come back with fresh eyes.

i also hev 2 arms

thanks everyone.

i think ill finish my rc car ball-bot and then go back to wall-er

Cheer up. I've been working on my robot for a few years now. Just about everything had to be redone several times If it was too easy, there would be no point in doing it. The satisfaction comes from solving problems that you didn't. think you could. Give it a break and go back to it when it's fun again.
