Step 1 Build the main body

Image 1 , Start by building the base as shown. Notice there are two silver rods with a blue spacer and blue clip fitted, these can be fitted now or later on.
Image 2 , This image shows the build up to the 10th layer, you will notice there are some gaps. Leave out 4 yellow pieces from the 1st four layers and then leave out four pieces from the 7th layer upwards. There are 2 silve rods fitted on the 2nd layer, these wil be part of the motor mounts.
Image 3 , Build up the next 7 layers and it should now look like this. On the 13 layer fit the silver rods as shown and on the 17th layer fit a black rod end clip.
Image 4 , Build the next 3 layers leaving a gap of 3 for the arms.
Image 5 , It should now look like this.
Image 6 , Build up the next 6 layers as shown. Here you see the mount for Cyber K'nex key card. Leave a gap in the red 3-way connectors from the 2nd from top one right hand side.
Image 7 , Build the final layer as shown. The top is fitted just so you can see how it looks and will now need to be removed.
Image 8 , With the top removed you will see the mounts at the rear, this is for one of the hand held units
Image 9 , Next build the part of the mounts for the tracks.
Images 10 & 11 , Attach to the underside using the 2 silver rods as shown. Ensure the metallic connectors are facing the rear.
Images 12 & 13 , This is how it should look now. Image 13 shows the gaps that were left for the arms and track locations.
Images 14 & 15 , The hatch, make the hatch as shown. The elastic bands are held in place using blue clips. Make sure to use a small amount of tape on the ends of the granite rods to make a good fit in the yellow and brown connectors.
Image 16 , Make the arms. The image shows the left ar, the rightt is just the opposite.

1 out of every 1000000000 people would make this!

[daredevil499]

wow how long did it take to make this

[~Meme~]

Dammit. Lost my 451st yellow connector

[TigerNod]

Neat. Don't think I'll be building though, it uses too many pieces.

One of the few knex designs I have seen which have almost no holes.

[chinnybeer]

This doesn't have many holes either.

Havr a look here for more http://chinnybeer.co.uk/Slideshow_Stuff/K%27nex_I4.html

Nice land rovers! :D I'M BRITISH!! (But is it right for a teenager to like land rovers and caterhams?) lol

[xobile001]

Holy smokes... it's color specific too

Would be nice if the parts list came with photos, some of us aren't word-people ;)

[K'nex gun builder]

If I would estimate a range of cost for this creation, it would be in between $250.00 to about $600.00.

[K'nex gun builder]

Overall, after all the work you've put into your WALL-E you surely deserve a 5 Star rating!

[K'nex gun builder]

AWESOME! You know what, I would say YOU are a KNEX-pert. You can build almost anything when your imagination can think of it, and with a couple of Knex parts (I'm just exaggerating) you can build a totally spectacular creation like your WALL-E for example. You watch star wars and have seen WALL-E many times which means if you can just remember what he looks like, with knex you can build a creation that looks just like him! Great Job.

Awe-som

[SLDxRaPiiDZz]

does it have to use the cyber knex motors

[chinnybeer]

I guess it doesn't, just makes it easier to control and you can use the IR controller.

[fries123]

How much would it cost in us dollars to buy and where is all the cyber knex on one website. Please not in set individual

[chinnybeer]

I really don't know how much it would cost as it's my own design and the parts are from many different sets. As for the cyber stuff that just came in a big bundle from ebay.

[SLDxRaPiiDZz]

ok thanks I make it

[Furloy]

would you happen to be Crestind on KI? he had this exact same thing

[jimboppy]

nice, but I don't feel like building that!

[chinnybeer]

No I'm not, he just published my model as a featured one. That's why his name is above it, original post is by me.

[Furloy]

ok thanks. this is really great, i would make it if i had parts. my dad would be happy because i always make guns and he is afraid that im goung to hurt someone (the untangle could do that)

[Rahkshi1]

Waaaah-Waaaaaaaaall-eeeee... 5* =D

[masterchief1257]

good job I think it would look better made from legos.

[cool knex13]

sooooooooo cool

[pinky252525]

COOL!

[mulletman6]

Not had any luck with getting it to drive properly, but will keep trying. Will let you know if i manage it :)

[chinnybeer]

I did have an idea (not tried it yet) to remove the outer bronze clips from the upper and lower rear gears so that the drive only goes through one track making turning easier.

But to be honest I think the best overall drive would be using the front and rear gears, this could still be done keeping the motors in their original positions.

Will have to give it try some time, am working in Sweden at the moment and the K'nex wouldn't fit in the case so had to leave it home lol

[mulletman6]

I removed the clips from both sets of lower gears, so that it just had them on the ones by the motor, but that didnt work. I made a chain out of grey clips and white rods, but that had an even worse result. I tried elastic bands for extra help, but that didn't work. The only way i can think of getting it to fully work, is to add wheels between the tracks at the bottom and have the motors driving them. That way it would theoretically work and the chains would just be for show. Am going to try it like that and see if that works :)

[jamz92]

Would be cool made from Meccano

[mulletman6]

Made this today. Took me about 3 1/2 - 4hrs to complete. Haven't got the remote control function to work yet, as i don't have any batteries :P. Its is awesome tho! - Well done :)

[chinnybeer]

Cheers for having a go. You will find (when you have batteries) that the forwards/backwards motion is very lumpy and jerky, I tried lots of different methods of driving the tracks but couldn't stop the jerking and it doesn't turn too well either. If you come up with anything better please post it

[camp6ell]

i think there are self help groups if you're having trouble stopping the jerking.

[chinnybeer]

lol :)

[mulletman6]

Ah, i thought it would be like that. I will see what i can do and will let you know if i do come up with anything :) On the piece count, mine came out at using an extra 40 grey 3 way connectors (on the back of the head) and 32 grey 3d connectors for the neck. Apart from that, the rest were basically right :)

[Sorunome]

cool! 5*!!!!!

[chinnybeer]

Cheers :)

[junits15]

you have alot of yellow k'nex

[chinnybeer]

Only just enough, phew

[lizabetta]

Class thing, for us such are not sold. So with pleasure collected, active rest would go me on a benefit.
