Portal 2 | Wheatley Animatronic Upgrades and Test

[@MrVolt]

Really excited to get to this point and share it with everyone. Still in the works: -his eye will have an (animated) aperture -sfx/voice control that modulates the brightness of his iris -prerecorded audio-animatronic sequences -paint/weathering -lots of cable management -Core profile selection, since his eye is a display, I can "load" the Iris/audio of any core from the games (Space, Adventure, Fact etc.) -management rail is planned, but it's a complicated robot arm in its own right :)

[@2thirty2pm]

can’t wait for voice! that will make wheatley feel much more alive

[@Doorjelly]

How do you plan on controlling the voice?

@@ftwgaming0 You clearly read half my comment, so let me keep it short. I know pretty much all the voice lines for WHEATLEY and GLADOS, where did I ever say I knew every dialogue lines? Do you? Or are you just looking in the comments to randomly attack fans of the game?

Valve has to invite you to their HQ when it's finished, they've done that with a working turret too.

That would be a dream!

Now i can only imagin Mr.Volt building Wheatly Crab and placing him next to Wheatly. Or hell a Turret (or a TF2 Level 1 Sentry) that shoots Nerf darts

[@ericvandenavond8748]

Make the sentry shoot rival rounds, which are a lot better for storing and firing in bulk as you can store and feed tons of them with a single proton pack.

[@FiftyCharacters]

@SlimeKingJr yes but it doesn’t fire

[@Occycat]

@SlimeKingJr they got Weta Workshop to make them a portal turret too

[@natperXD]

@@ericvandenavond8748 reminds me of the Aperture Investment “Turrets” where they literally just dumped bullets in the bullet tank and say they shoot the whole bullet

[@mzaite]

I think the Waldo is the most amazing part of this build! It's one thing to make a mechanically functional core, but figuring out how to puppet it is its own whole thing!

[@davidlewis2171]

I was so confused about the Waldo thing at first, because somehow I missed that video, but then you put your arm in it and I'm just so impressed with all of this! It makes it look both more mechanical and organic somehow and I love it!

[@RacoonySkaloonyOfficial]

here's a fun little idea: in every video Wheatley will be in the background but hes eye is a pfp of one of your subs, and it chances upon every vid

[@ceddyd]

That’s not half bad honestly.

[@light10198]

Cool idea.

[@MrVolt]

Great idea!

[@joeng707]

Bro because of this comment I subbed lol me volt this guy is a legend

[@mccrunchy_]

When I first saw the Waldo I was like, “oh my god he’s gonna stick his hand in there and control it’s that’s so coooooooooool!”

[@greenswing7681]

Wheatleys one of my all time favorite characters (if you can't tell by my icon already LOL) and seeing you continue this project even with this quite small audience genuinely makes me so happy :DDD I've seen many people attempt a wheatley animatronic but I just know that this is gonna be one of the BEST ones I genuinely can't wait thank you for doing this for all of us :)

[@cesarperez1835]

Imagine giving the controls of this to Stephen Merchant, hang it over somewhere with traffic, add in a megaphone...and BOOM! Lots of people are now wondering why a moronic robot sphere is talking to them

[@mosey_around2231]

I hyper-fixiated on portal big time when I was a kid, and Wheatly was my favorite character and still is. So it's super cool to see this! Keep up the good work!

[@TessaBury]

Wonderful seeing this project come to life. If I didn't know it was just you I'd think Weta Workshop was behind this! Can't wait for more.

[@purityisastateofmind7439]

When this project is perfected you need to start selling Wheatley assembly kits or something Ooh ooh! Or like customizable core assembly kits. That would totally take off. I'd make DemoCore, the slightly Tf2 inspired demolitions and alcoholics expert core with a Scottish twist

That’d be epic but.. extremely expensive.. he’s probably already spent thousands of dollars so far and he isn’t even finished yet.

Yep, the files will be available. Keep in mind this relies a lot on some random parts and has a lot of smaller flaws that need to be improved. I've already realized I want to make a Mk II core, and that will be designed to be a tutorial.
