Step 8Head Tilt
Nothing makes Wall-e come more alive then his eye tilting. It adds a lot of character to his personality.
The eyes of the toy is tiltable by hand, but not automated. I put a drop of Krazy Glue to hold both parts of the eyes together. That way, the servo moves both eyes. You may want to not Krazy Glue the eyes together for an even funnier expression.
I mounted the smallest servo of the parts list to the neck. Of course I used a yellow zip tie and some hot glue gun ;)
Then use a peice of hard wire from the servo arm to the head.
Also, the electrical wires from the servo are very short. I used the servo wire/plug combo to extend the wires. And covered up the solder joints with shrink wrap.
*NOTE: Do not attempt to move this tiny servo arm by hand! You will break the plastic gears inside. Trust me, I broke one by trying. If the peice isn't lined up, simply remove the arm and attach it in line. DO NOT TRY TO MOVE IT.
