This is my son and I project. I watched Wall-E a few years ago and thought to myself, (I could make that!) So I used my son as an excuse to start building Wall-E. The wife probably would not have let me if I didn’t convince her it would help our son educationally. So here are a few pictures and I am about 30% of the way done. I just need ($400.00) for a dual motor control board. Stupid money!
Yea, that was one of the interesting parts to try and figure out. What I am using (I have them right now there just not pictured) is #80 chain (BIG) with K-1 attachment links every other link. Kind of expensive, I think it was $50 or $60 for the #80 chain and $175 for all the K-1 attachment master links I needed. I will put a picture up a little later today.
Custom made, I bought about 20 feet of #80 chain off e-bay for about $40.00 and I bought the K-1 Attachment links from some chain company I found in Google. They where about $4.00 a piece, so that was a little pricey. I think it was almost $200.00 for the attachments.
It should work very well. Wall-E should weigh a little over 400 pounds, so i need something strong that can take a 180 degree turn and not tear the chain apart. I can’t wait to see what it can do to a tile, carpeted, wooden, or any other kind of floor. It will rip some stuff up that is for sure.
