So curvy and smooth! Sexy.
I especially like the housing for the speakers.
If you painted those ultra sound sensors, Walter would have two eery Siamese mini-me’s.
“Personality Chip”; that will make a few androids jealous.
You still have room for main power right? Motors and battery?
you got it, rik
Wow!
Wow Walter; I can’t believe how much you’ve grown! I remember when you were just a little cart, you know. Driving Chris’ family around; remote controlled.
Hot HOT! HOTTT!!!
woooooowwww
very impresive, it is BIG and BIG lets you put on lots of things…
congrats…
What are you using for the
No, the bigger ones.
For my line follow and my wheel encoders I am using the bigger ones from sparkfun.
I think the big ones and the small ones are about the same in performance, it’s just that the bigger one mounts a lot better.
Wow
major problem!!!
I see one problem from your video.
Ever since you painted Walter you’ve started to refer to him as HER and SHE. Maybe the choice of colour was less than well thought through? If you’d painted him metallic blue with flames and skull decals he would always have been called HIM and HE. Noone would have doubted his gender…
Besides that; I’m really looking forward to the complete write-up, which is a lot of work. He/she’s a beauty!!
