WALL-E Track Project

First test of my home built WALL-E track drive. The wheels were hand fabricated from wood, then cast in silicon rubber. The final parts were cast using urethane rubber, similar in density to shopping cart wheels. The motor is an NPC Robotics 2212 12volt DC gear motor. In the video I am running at only 6volts for testing purposes...at 12volts it would be nearly twice as fast.
I will be casting urethane rubber treads which will cover up the plastic conveyor track. There are 32 treads per side, so it will take a bit of time to cast and mount them all. The only other detail missing is the triangular pivot point located between the lower drive wheels and sprockets. That part will be hand made and cast in urethane as well.
I hope to have the completed drive ready shortly, which will be fully remote controlled. Keep an eye out for the next video. Thanks for watching!

beautiful!

[@Lalobe]

wow, really impressive!

[@zathin3959]

Amazing, I'm gonna make this in 3d for a school project

[@ryanjenkyns]

that's some impressive technical wizardry.... loved wall-e, can't wait to see this come together :)

[@michelvandenbergofficial]

Love the sound that it makes! really the same as in the movie.

[@jessearzola8214]

How can I order a set of these for a disc golf cart I'm turning into Wall-e!?

[@awesomesauce5711]

Very impressive but how? Where do u get the materials

[@Grzzs]

Can you explain how you cast those pulleys and sprockets?

[@JAG435]

works like a charm! Very Nice Work!

[@akshaybajaj7754]

can you tell the about the conveyer belt you are using. Where did you get it from?

[@thingbreaker5121]

Not sure if you found your answer, but to anyone else looking search for "821 conveyor track". It's used in industrial applications and very durable.

[@firefishable]

excellent!

[@codymartinson9518]

You use a worm gear?

[@mcsdaver]

Very cool

Will just inform me , from where did you get the motor

[@Nothing56789]

Aman Movalia I feel bad for you, 6 years later and you don’t get a reply? I would be fuming
