--This page is still in development--
THE page for the Wall-e project! I made it because our group will not be in ACT for all eternity, and it is nice to collaborate. Below, I will go into as much detail as possible to help whoever might be interested in continuing work in the future, and if you are reading this, that is likely you, so... thank you! This is essentially the first thing I am doing with GitHub, so pardon the occasional (or constant) sloppiness.
Tap your phone on the NFC leaf and go to the website that controls the (not so) lil dud. Scan the QR code on the inside to get to this page (but that's most likely what you already did) and start digging around.
Latest Arduino IDE Raspberry Pi Imager
- Servos take 5v, 3amps max measured, 15W
- Dc takes 12v, 1amp max measured, 1.5 for safety ig. 36W
- Arduino takes 5v, unknown amps,
- Motor Shield,
- Raspberry,
Listed below are electronics, metal parts, and paints. I will detail them as much as possible and add links to where they can be bought or whatever other website might be more relevant. Hovering over the link will show you the exact model of the item so that you can do your own searching.
Copying the models could prove difficult. I would recommend using OCR software or going to the README.md file and finding them in "quotation marks" after the links.
A lot of these parts are what we had available in the lab, they may not be the highest performing and most capable of implementing new fancy features, but here's to hoping they will hold up and that tougher tasks can be offloaded.
If for whatever reason the links no longer work or you find websites that are better suited please open an issue report so that I can update them.

A new battery... PLEASE! The one we have is a CHUNKY HEAVY boi, and it is only 3000mAh and is (undisclosed) old.
Circuitry to detect how full the battery is.
A Camera in the eye that tracks the faces of people interacting with Wall-E.
Xbox Kinect for mirroring the arms and head movement of people interacting with Wall-E.
Longer cables for head servos, so that they can be cable managed through the neck.
Turned the motors controlling the eye's rotation. This allowed them to not just flop down due to a lack of tolerance.
Added a screw to the neck (M2 20mm approximately), to allow removal of central head axel and future disassembly of the neck
All the components written down in the "Links" section have been implemented.
This project is mostly a modification of chillibasket's project
The following upgrades by other makers have also been implemented:
