<p>Mike Senna, the man responsible for creating a life-size R2D2, has again pored himself into the construction of a beloved movie character. And this one's bound to tickle Pixar geeks: he <a href="http://sennaswalle.blogspot.com/">made</a> a working Wall-E!</p>
<p>A programmer by day and a hobbyist by night, the Orange County-based Mr. Senna spent two years painstakingly combing through <em>Wall-E</em> in order to build a life-size, functioning replica of the film's titular character.</p>
<p><!--more--><a href="http://blastr.com/2012/08/guys-spends-two-years-bui.php">According</a> to Blastr:</p>
<blockquote><p>Until now WALL-E only existed in a computer. There were no schematics, no pre-existing parts, nothing. Senna had to watch the movie over and over again to get all the movements right, develop the robotic elements himself, and then put it all together. He spent at least 25 hours a week working on it (he also has a job), and estimates that it probably took anywhere between 3,200 and 3,800 hours to finish the project. Oh, and he paid for all of it himself.</p></blockquote>
<p>Damn, that's commitment. If only Mr. Senna could build a functioning Eve, we imagine they'd be a big hit at weddings and birthday parties.</p>
