Keep in mind these video where posted for fun at first to give idea to kids and other builders,, i'm not always serious and i'm not always very professional - i miss some proper terms and my filming is often shaky -- but i had lots of fun and that was the primary goal!
Start with my first prototype movie Then Look at my picture on Picasaweb http://picasaweb.google.com/freshmarc/WallENXT# Then watch how i accidentally destroy wall-e and rebuild it in front of you Maybe watch the emotion eyes prototype video Then watch my Explaining how i made wall-e 'pure' Then look at the picture again Finaly ... come up with an even cooler wall-e ,,, and don,t forget to mention you got inspired by me and SHOW ME YOU WALL_E Part listing Links Suggested Kits used for major components 1 Lego Mindstorm NXT RETAIL KIT #8527 http://www.trossenrobotics.com/robot...indstorms.aspx 1 Lego Power Function Bulldozer #8725 http://technic.lego.com/en-us/Produc...struction.aspx Additional part not found in above 2 kits 1 yellow wormgear box http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=6588 1 gearbox 3 x 3 x 1 2/3 (90 degree) http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/45360 1 additional large Technic turntable http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=48452cx1 100 small chain links http://www.legoeducation.com/store/d...45&c=0&t=1&l=0 1 HiTechnic IR link sensor http://www.hitechnic.com/index.html?...arget=d25.html and if you want the added emotion eye 1 Mindsensors NXTservo module & mini RC servo http://www.mindsensors.com/index.php...age&PAGE_id=93 == (currently Wall-E's twin is being built by my friend Daniel W. in the Netherland just on time to be present at Lego World 2008 he managed to replicate him using the above info i hope you will to) ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED BUILDING WALL-E please contact me so that i can share my NXT-G program with you or assist you in creating your own. I have not posted the files here as i'm still futzing around with my program to make Wall-E more interesting and interactive when ran in unattended mode for trade shows.
