Cool Stuff: Man Builds Life-Size Working Replica Of WALL-E

Michael McMaster from Bakersfield California decided to try to build a working life-size replica of Pixar's WALL-E. McMaster belonged to the R2D2 Builders Club and decided to try to test his skills to recreate that other robot voiced by Ben Burtt. Since Star Wars was a live-action film, the R2 builders have a ton of real life prop and blueprint references to work off of. But WALL-E exists only in the computer, so they needed to create a design out of screen-grabs and various pieces of concept art that had been released by Pixar. The resulting remote controlled robot took five years to complete (or, so far — he's still "working" on improving the robot). Watch a video of WALL-E in action after the jump.
