Maker Faire 2012

Our WALL-E appeared before thousands of visitors at Maker Faire Bay Area, and lots of people fell in love with him! Especially the little kids. It was great to see the joy on the faces of so many people of all ages.

Almost Done!

My WALL-E Progress:  Almost done! It's been about 2.5 years and it looks like it's coming to a close in the next couple months. All the initial automation is complete, a couple tweaks still needed. Arms, neck and head need finishing work. I'm happy with the ease of operation and the general behavior. Next video will be of the completed WALL-E exploring his surroundings.
