Wall-E Robot Made With LEGO Mindstorms

Posted by samzenpus on from the how-is-it-with-trash? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Montreal-based maker Marc-André Bazergui has created a real-life Wall-E robot using a set of motors and a LEGO Mindstorms NXT kit. The 20cm tall Wall-E uses 5 RCX motors and 3 Levers to move and transform just like the animated character, and it took Bazergui over 250 hours to build. Even more impressive, is that Wall-E can be remotely controlled to move around, pick up objects and look up and down. Alternatively, he can be programmed to move on his own accord."

    Sure, he looks wall-e-ish but does he have a 5 tonne compactor in his midriff?

    He's able to play back music but not video. So... yes!

    But I'm still more impressed with the lego Porsche with functioning dual clutch transmission. http://jalopnik.com/5819500/this-porsche-may-be-the-most-detailed-lego-car-ever
