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)

yes of course 100 % excellent work
@DJ sures when were you talking about the building an autonomus wall e
you are gonna need to build wall e
My Autonomous HomeMade Wall-E Robot by djsures
@Louis t
can I ask you......the wall-e head you built looks very intricate....do you ever have an issue with initial power up? meaning do the servos twitch when connecting power to the board? if so, does this mess with the set up in the eyes? (will they flip out to the point of destroying the set up?
if not, how do you do it?
in my wall e I have 4 mini servos controlling the eyes. 2 servos per eye. they are set up very close to each other....but power up causes a jolt that breaks the set up.
so I have to re do the whole head every time I power up the board.
just trying to figure out how to minimize the power jolt.
@rich and @dj sures are helping but I figured would hurt to ask you since our project seem kinda similar.
thank you.
@hoolagen1
I don't have any power up issue with the servo going all over the place, it does twitch a bit but not to the point of destroying the servos or the setup. What you need to do is setup an initial servo position for each and every servo on your Wall-E so that they won't go out of place on first power up. So basically you want to tell EZ-B to execute that set of codes with different servo positions on start up go to those positions. I can't tell you what position because each servo is different and your setup is different. Hope that help.
I never get tired of seeing this awesome build.
Hello Louis. awesome Wall-e ! What model of cameras you used? same model in two eyes? i have wall -e toy and want to make my own robot follow your job. Best regards José the new v4 cameras fit good in wall-e?
I will be following...as I am obsessed with all things Walle. I hope you keep posting more.
