Real robots from movie designs
Filed under: robots hacks
Thanks to Star Wars, Plenty of People Have Their Own built R2 units. Pixar's next Movie Has Been running trailers for a while, and there's Already a Group (Free Membership Required) Devoted to Building Real versions of the SGI Robot star: WALL-E. I guess I'll have to call it reverse-forward engineering. WALL-E has some interesting design ideas - it compacts trash into cubes, but it can also retract its treads into the same compacting area. (Pictured is a WALL-E style waste cube, by [Jawa Lunk]) Thanks to [Shannon] deserves the credit for turning me onto this one.
