It's been a very crazy past few weeks. I took a day off today. Yes! I admit it. I took a day off... And I built a robot Felt great to be back in the hacking saddle!
This Wall-E hack from DJ Sures turned out great! DJ used the EZ-B Robot Kit to build an amazing real life Wall-E! He added the camera from the kit to Wall-E's head for visual tracking. He then added a horizontal neck servo and vertical head servo. Now this Wall-E can visually track motion, color and faces in two dimensions... Up, down, left and right!
For extra character, DJ added Wall-E sounds to actions and some voice commands. He whistles when asked to follow your face. He sighs and moans when his favorite red ball is taken away from him. Do not worry, he quickly perks up when asked to dance to the movie's familiar music score.
Be sure to watch the video and see this Wall-E in action!

Looks like ARC will be released in a few days!
Just wondering were did you get all the sounds such as his sad one when he looses ball, or when you first get his attention etc for the wall-e? I've searched for while on net and cant find them. Or were you able to make use of the sounds that are orignally part of the toy?

As per your post above regarding the ping distance sensor, how are you getting WALL-E to avoid obstacles if the sensor is not mounted on a servo (scanning)?
Would I need to add more ping distance sensors or add a IR sensor?
I'm waiting on my EZ-B & just want to make sure I have all the components ready for WALL-E.
I'm going to be modifying the wall-e and attaching a servo at that point. Just a little micro servo. Because it really doesn't avoid that well without it moving. If you set the min distance to 20 inches, it's acceptable. But it will eventually catch it's tracks on something.
im building 1 but i need the sound to upload it to the sound trigger
Got my EZ-B, simply amazing!
Started building my WALL-E.
