Mike Senna, well known from the remote-control R2-D2 replica he built in 2003, finished building a working WALL-E replica from the Pixar film in 2012. Completely scratch built, as there are no hobbiest parts available. He began building WALL-E’s girlfriend Eve in 2014.

Ben Burtt photo ops at Academy Museum, LA
Ben Burtt has won 4 Academy Awards for his work in sound design. He is best known for Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and being the voice of R2-D2 and Wall-E. The Academy Museum invited us once again to provide photo ops with WALL-E in the lobby before/after Ben Burtt’s presentation. We enjoyed a nice chat with Ben, such a nice man. It’s always fun to see so many WALL-E fans of all ages make a meaningful connection with their favorite film character.

SoCal Droid Builders build day
We hosted an informal build day for members of the droid builders club, for a full day of sharing innovation and ideas, troubleshooting, camaraderie, collaboration, socializing, and pizza. š
About 25 talented veteran and newer builders drove from throughout Southern California, as far as San Diego and Ventura counties. It’s always so enjoyable and rewarding to interact with such creative and friendly people, strengthening friendships, and building new ones. Southern California Droid Builders are a special bunch.
