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)

I had Qatar there once but I guess I forgot that I changed it back
You have the same web camera covers, where did you by them ? Thanks ?
I took it from a another camera
Do you realize that when youre done Im going to send you a fresh wall-e head to modify and some $$$ for the parts and service?
I love looking at the workmanship on the neck and eyebrows.
I'd love to help but im all tight up with work and projects, plus who's to say I won't make any mistake with yours?
. To be honest with you, after building this Wall-E with all the small parts and concentration on the cuts, i must say it is a very time consuming process. I don't think i want to do this all over again, in fact i can't wait to finish it so i can move on to the next project. I did enjoy building and thinking while i was at it even though it usually resulted in major headache for the day
So i got Wall-E's head all back together and was testing out motion/color/face tracking. I could get color tracking working very well, but motion and face tracking are definitely not working with this latest ARC, i tried everything, every settings, quadrant size, sensitivity, the motion tracking went crazy when you increase sensitivity.
In DJ earlier video, face tracking works very well correct me if im wrong, but for me it is not seeing my face at all or barely, Wall-E head is simply not moving one bit, tried playing with the camera color settings too without luck. May be there is something wrong with the latest version. The color tracking works great, so my setup on servos are good. Any idea what went wrong?
It is not good message for me. I ordered EZ B a few days before confused .
D.J. will help you, don't worry.
