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!

@DJ Sures, since my WALL-E is the same as the WALL-E featured in this video, how did you get the big tread wheel off from the gear base? I know this video is over a decade old, but I still need help.
An update on my WALL-E. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1175254779669254319/1215284722138357760/20240307_070607.mp4?ex=65fc3118&is=65e9bc18&hm=9f50727941de14abcb28cee6863f4eab2f2af56ea98589134db03b9a48b2f634&; I was able to get the wheels off the gear base and now it can move around. Some issues with the treads sliding off and the servo attachments getting out of place. However, as soon as I get it working I will post it in it's own project.
