Inspired by DJ Sures and many other Wall-E projects on here, i decided it's time to make my own Wall-E and he will be my first robot build. I wanted him to be as lively as possible. I give credit to Joc's and Glickclik for the geared neck tilt and wheels tilt ideas, i just made it my own using the same concept. I still have yet to fully understand ARC so additional help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what im at so far in the project, some of the parts are hand made from raw Carbon Fiber with only a dremel and i use some parts from a 450 R/C heli as well as bearings in some of the joints.

Done so far:

Metal gear high speed modified continuous servos for wheels. Micro metal gear servos for wheels tilt. Mini metal gear servos for vertical arms movements. Micro servos for horizontal arms movement. Micro metal gear servo for vertical neck tilt. Mini metal gear servo for horizontal neck movements. Micro servos for individual eye movement. Sub-micro servos/mods for eye's lid animation. Get rid of dummy cables in the head, run all servos/camera wires from head down the same way and use heat shrink/black nylon mesh for realistic look. Red laser between eyes. Mock up left eye's lens. Other things to be added/changed as i go:)

Yet to be done:

Light up solar panel (most likely, still thinking) Red LED in front in the black spot next to the solar panel (definitely) Make his wrist rotate (don't know yet, still thinking)

Sorry guys there has been no update lately as I haven't had much time to work on Wall-E. I'm getting ready for a trip to CA at the end of this month. I figures it's time for a break:) but i will try get him done once I get back.

Thanks robothacker...A cleaning robot is awesome, I really like M-O from Wall-E :-), there is a great vacuum bot project here which has over 100 pages of details that may help you with the build, check it out: https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/530

Great detail with the photos and descriptions... I can feel myself learning already:) But between spending time reading posts and dreaming about ideas, I think I am becoming sleep deprived:P

Incredible job Louis!
