The first real but not main reason for Wall-E construction was that my son loves movie Wall-E and the second one was that I lost my son because of his abduction by his mother from his home and subsequent divorce in a country where the law is just a piece of paper. This (Wall-E robot construction) was and is a way I could be with my son.

So back to the project. Wall-E from Louis T was an inspiration for me. But I found own way how to solve construction challenges, how to replace wrong or destroyed servos etc.

List of necessary parts: EZB Board V3 Metal gear digital high speed modified continuous servos for wheels - HS5245MG Micro metal gear servos for wheels tilt -HS81MG. Mini metal gear servos for vertical arms movements - HS81MG. Micro servos for horizontal arms movement -HS56HB. Micro metal gear servo for vertical neck tilt -DS-939MG. Micro metal gear servo for horizontal neck movements-HS81MG. Micro servos for individual eye movement DYS 0202. Sub-micro servos/mods for eye's lid animation HK 282 with voltage regulator 5V/3,3V. 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 and white high power LEDs between eyes. Mock up left eye's lens. Analog Sharp GP2Y0D805Z0F IR Range Sensor HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Range Finder Wirelless 2,4G camera 199MP3 Module SD memory card Dual 3W amplifier BT module BEC 5V separate power supply for amplifier LiIon Battery monitor and old toy U-Command Wall-E from eBay LiIon Accu - 3,4Ah 7,2V and with protection circuit 5A

First proposal was not good

Accu was too big and heavy
