Behold the GhettoFabulous wheelie bar for the U-Command Wall-E!

Recognize those? They were the bottom retainer devices from wall-e's packaging. After I pulled off those stupid plastic center wheels I discovered that the hole spacing in the plastic strips was about the same as the new, extra holes on the bottom. A few leftover long hard drive bolts fit the holes quite nicely too. So far Wall-E hasn't tipped over at all with these, as compared to every minute-and-a-half without them. The whole thing works a lot better on the carpet now too.

Now the important part; This is temporary. This is a quick fix.

Specifically, GWJax, there's a better one coming :) (naturally that project has evolved somewhat, and will take a bit longer than anticipated)

Watch out, don't step in the anthropomorphization.

Great thinking with using what the U-command had all along, The new modified U-Command will be out soon by me with almost all of 4mem8's features except the uOLED video, I have lost my camera a while ago and had to buy another one so I'll start shooting new photos from where I left off but I may get another one and hack it the same way so you can see the whole process, but we'll see on that one.

GWJax, To Hack and make mods on robots is a life style and comes natural and not by choice. If a robot has a screw to open it then it must be opened!
