I'm not sure what my robot has to do with a camper, but thanks anyway!

Thanks!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it.

Wow! Be sure to stay warm! Thanks for the reply.

Thats a great idea! I'll let him know

Alex, the reason I am not sharing the 3d files is because they, by themselves, would not allow a functional robot to be made. There are many things I did to modify the design physically after printing, such as sanding, drilling holes, adding other features with new material, etc. As a Maker, I don't feel comfortable releasing files that would need more work to get them finished.OnShape is free for anyone, especially hobbyists such as ourselves, to use publicly: www.onshape.com/products/freeThe paid version of the software allow access to features used in industry, corporations, and project management.I don't have specific step-by-step instructions because this was a 2 year long hobby project. I simply kept track of how the project evolved. I'm not sure I'd even be capable of making step...

I simply kept track of how the project evolved. I'm not sure I'd even be capable of making step-by-step instructions at this point.Finally, I believe that greater joy comes from making things yourself! Being able to say that you made something from scratch brings a lot more satisfaction than saying that you made something that someone else designed. I do share the Code and the Bill of Materials with this Instructable, as well as my willingness to provide advice via email, in hopes that it inspires someone to make their own Wheatley, and not a copy of mine.

Wheatley's parts had to be printed on a gigantic 3d printer but, if you're willing to spend a lot of time printing and gluing, it can be done on a smaller printer. Shop around! You can usually find a good price somewhere.

Thank you! I learned everything myself from instructables and other sources on the internet. You'll find what you need if you ask enough questions and stick with it. Anyone can do it, so why not give it a try?

Thanks! He was a lot of fun to make.

Thanks!

Quick question: Did you use a DUALSHOCK 3 controller or a SIXAXIS controller?
