Power Function Motorize Wall-E

With the release of boxset 21303 Wall-E, I had much more fun with the kids after I had motorized Wall-E. The construction with Wall-E was great, but it was a pity that the boxset had not cater for its Power Functions



In the simplest method, I will show how i mount the Power functions onto Mr Wall-E


Additional parts you will need to motorize Wall-E




2780 - Technic, Pin with Friction Ridges Lengthwise WITH Center Slots ~ 2 pieces
3705 - Technic Axle 4 ~ 2 pieces
3004 - Brick 1x2 ~ 1 piece
3023 - Plate 2x2 ~ 2 pieces
3795 - Plate 2x6 ~ 1 piece
4758 - Plate 2x8 ~ 1 piece
8884-1 - Power Functions IR Receiver ~ 1 piece
58120c01 - Power Functions 9V Medium Motor ~ 2 pieces
8885-1 - Power Functions 9V Remote Control Unit ~ 1 piece
88000-1 - Power Functions AAA Battery Box ~ 1 piece

Disclaimer - My method..
- Will not modify Wall-E's body by removing or substituting the parts. But simply mounting the IR Module with additional parts
- Will substitute some moving tracks part to Motors
- Remove permanently some Wall-E's parts to mount Battery Box

The steps illustrated ...


Mounting the Motors


Extra Plates to hold Motors and Cables in position


This is where the IR Module is mounted


Extra Brick and Plates to level up the IR Module




The Battery Compartment is mounted behind Wall-E


These parts were removed, when mounting the Motors and to mount the Battery Box



And we are done, Have fun

She aint spooky
It was the choking haze from agricultural fires in Indonesia over the past fortnight

---

Minifigures Series 13 - Spooky Girl

---

The haze is a regular occurrence, with the region wheezing through outbreaks every year during the dry season

What Happen?
The main cause is illegal fires started in peatland and forest on Indonesia's Sumatra island and the Indonesian part of Borneo to quickly and cheaply clear land for palm oil and pulp and paper plantations
The outbreaks started in 1997, with what is still regarded as the most serious haze on record. It followed rapid expansion of plantations in the preceding years, and coincided with an El Nino weather system that made conditions drier than usual in Indonesia

How bad is it this year?
More than 2,000 fire "hotspots" -- either areas already on fire or very hot and likely to soon go up in flames -- were detected by satellites on Sumatra and Indonesian Borneo Tuesday, with the situation exacerbated by an El Nino weather system that has made conditions tinder-dry

Who Suffers?
The haze has a devastating impact on daily life every year on Sumatra and the Indonesian part of Borneo. This year, air quality has hit hazardous levels, tens of thousands have contracted respiratory illnesses, many flights have been cancelled and schools closed.

But why is it still happening after all these years?
Although starting fires to clear land is punishable by long jail terms and hefty fines in Indonesia, law enforcement is weak and corruption rife.
Major companies have "zero burn" policies, meaning they have vowed not to clear land using fires. But activists are sceptical that all firms are sticking to their pledges, and small landowners have also been blamed for starting fires to clear land.
However, environmentalists note that few convictions have resulted from such probes in the past.
