The Real Size LowCost Robot Wall.e Made From Water Pipe and Scraps

Wall.e... who is not familiar with this robot? He's a funny robots and more importantly he is a great robot, but it's more great if you have wall.e yourself at home. Let's create a real size robot wall.e with material from the stuff around the House. (I made this in Descember 2012 until January 2013)

,

for the first step, collect materials that will be used to make eye Wall.e, unused pvc plastic water pipes and other unused items like in the picture. for our water pipes for the two parts. the whole curved tube, and the other part is cut roughly in half to 30cm and then molded into a plastic plate use hot fire flame for traighten the water pipe. make a shape like a pair of binoculars that will be eye WALL.E. make it like you make a paper craft but using material plastik plate. and than put the lens, make a 2 eyes, to unite the two eyes use a small piece of water pipe diameter 10cm diameter 3ich, attach a small gearbox in the middle to later dancing eyes to make a sad expression. unite all sections, and make the neck of the small size of the water pipe.

with plated pipe, create a box 30cmx30cm for the top i using storage container that has been unused money.body shape resembles wall.e bodies look into details of the character shape Wall.e. make like you make a paper craft but using diferent material not paper but pvc plastic plate. for WALL.E logo made writings to arise, I made by hand that print with letters made of thick paper and printing on pvc plastic plate, heated and pressed so that the letters arise in.

I make hand WALL.E like I just made a papercraft but with different materials are water pipes pvc. I cut the pipe plate into small parts and forming a finger and than hand. put some motor at each joint, one motor for rotation of the wrist, 1 motor to raise their hands, and one motor for rotation of the base of the arm. 3 dc motor gearbox for each hand.

After all the body and head combined, I put a sound system with mp3 player and put a sound effect wall.e sound file and to controller all motor im using 4 module of transmitter and receiver cheap RC car with different frequencies. this wall.e using 11 little dc motor gearbox and 2 high tors motor gearbox, 3 motors gearbox on each hand, 3 motor on head, 2 motor for hidrolic system. and 2 high tosr motor for the wheel.

for wheel pad I used 4 layer small pieces from the plate Pvc pipe, for wheels I used the former lory wheels, and motor im use 12-24volt high tors motor and relay than battery for actuator system.

this a manual painting spray and hand painting with effect scrat and old look like.

this is combination from 3 cheap RC remote car with different frequencies in 1 case so now i have 6 channel cheap remote controller for controling head, hand and the wheel. plus 1 Ir remote to play the sound effect on mp3 player inside the wall.e body

now i have a friend at my home... sorry not detail and complete step and some pictures using Indonesian language because i made him from December 2012 so i don't have much document left, and my English not really good, so it is difficult to explain with the correct writing, but I would like to share what I can create, even just make a lowcost wall.e, currently my wall. e still with simple system , but when I have sufficient funds i will upgrades to be more intelligent and autonomous. Thank you :)
