Can someone explain as to why he needs a Wall E on the desk to intimate him each time he receives an email? A project that makes sense only to Totoro Yamada, but yes, the make is somewhat edible to the hungry mail addict, and why not when others can have twitter updaters of all sorts, connected and unconnected to the PCs.
A paper-crafted Mail E robot, this is actuated by three 9g mini-servos, and controlled by a SD21 servo driver and a picaxe 18x, simple enough motors to let the head and hand move to alert. Idea seems way better than those silly mail visualizers, but if Yamada, as he hopes, can add wireless connectivity to the bot, taking it beyond the desk sitters image, and have Wall E Mail E make certain gestures to mimic the kind of email received – it could be a wholesome robot someday. Check out the Mail E move in the vid below.
