  • KrisStrong, on 05/20/2009, -2/+49110 Easy Steps? I'd get to step 19 and think, ***** it, I'll watch the movie instead.
  • Defiant001, on 05/20/2009, -2/+38Notice how all the images are on one page, imagine this being split up into 100 pages
  • Dumbledorito, on 05/20/2009, -0/+34Wall-E is a fictional character, Professor.
  • r2builder, on 05/20/2009, -4/+30In Soviet Russia... bah I honestly cannot be bothered anymore.
    Seriously though, this project is really nice. I'm amazed that everything is custom-machined.
    Reminds me of the R2-D2 Builders Club (astromech.net for those interested)

  • DarthVolta, on 05/20/2009, -1/+22This is why everyone hates Mac users.
  • harrythe3rd, on 05/20/2009, -0/+20Damn I wish I had that tool bench

  • barnis, on 05/20/2009, -2/+15I think if I was gonna put all that effort into it I would RC the whole thing and put web cams in the eyes...otherwise every time you showed it to someone they would say "Oh cool...does it work?" "No" "Oh...so what is it for?" "Oh...ummm...its my computer"
  • Defiant001, on 05/20/2009, -4/+15anti-grav for the win

    in fact big deal, call me when he builds the axiom
  • jb0nd38372, on 05/20/2009, -2/+13Were you thinking about saying....

    In Soviet Russia... Wall-E Builds you?

  • phiffr626, on 05/20/2009, -7/+16in russia, servers FAIL you!
  • slapded, on 05/20/2009, -1/+9I wont be impressed until he hooks it up to play gyromite
  • areber04, on 05/20/2009, -2/+10Congratulations on missing the joke.
  • sameer768, on 05/20/2009, -1/+8He should make it run on Solar Power!
  • waver01, on 05/20/2009, -0/+7H-O-L-Y SHiiiT that's incredibly precise.
  • cptcliche, on 05/20/2009, -0/+6@oprah ur caps r on, btw


    /shaq
  • theaceoffire, on 05/20/2009, -0/+6Or it could be tied to your OS, so that when you start it, it does the whole "charging sound", and it "wakes up"... when you play music, it would dance to it, when you play movies, you could give it emotions based on the chords in the sound track (Sad/Minor chords = sad robot, happy/major stuff= happy robot)....

    O.O that would be neat.
  • r250r, on 05/20/2009, -0/+6Or convert a mill to cnc, and you need nothing more. http://www.linuxcnc.org/
  • jerrycan, on 05/20/2009, -0/+5Incredible work but, I wish I had access to a machine shop...must be nice...
  • JaredInsanity, on 05/20/2009, -0/+5That is amazing.
  • jgzman, on 05/20/2009, -0/+5As long as each step is, in fact, easy, then the number of steps is irrelevant.

    A better statement would be "how to build a space shuttle in 150,000,000 easy steps, and 5,743,231 hard steps."
  • 12345421, on 05/20/2009, -1/+6Wasn't this already on Digg like a month or so ago? Because I've seen this before and out of the two sites I go on (GMail and Digg) something tells me gmail wasn't the one.
  • Solkre, on 05/20/2009, -0/+4I agree if you're going to make something that badass, make it a RC toy with camera eyes!
    Still very impressive, accurate, and much much more than my lazy ass would ever do.
  • kgerm, on 05/20/2009, -0/+4but will it blend?
  • chadsmith729, on 05/20/2009, -0/+4That's excellent! Very nice. I am sure he could sell those for sure, I better hide this story from my boy. He will be wanting me to make one, and god knows I don't have the machinery/time/patience for it.

    Well done Russia man.
  • Dumbledorito, on 05/20/2009, -1/+5@kgerm: The viewer's computer and connection aren't the problem. It's the server having to accomodate so much data to so many people at once that's causing the page to choke.
  • markagrzyb, on 05/21/2009, -0/+4The "fully charged sound" that Wall-E makes is the Mac startup tone, a little cookie if you didn't know that already.
  • pilot101, on 05/20/2009, -2/+6umm where have you been past couple years, mac innards and pc innards are identical. They have been same since apple switched to intel. Get with the times...
  • inactive, on 05/20/2009, -0/+4 On April - 10 - 2009 = http://1dak.com/design/how-to-create-wall-e/
  • JensenSteve, on 05/20/2009, -1/+5Yes, it can.
  • inigomntoya, on 05/20/2009, -0/+4My thoughts exactly. I would build all the wheels for the first track and then think, "I have to do this ***** one more time PLUS finish the tread?!"
  • mysticalone, on 05/20/2009, -2/+6Eve was a mac, a billion dollar antiGravbook Mac.
  • dwalker, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3HEY!

    I hadn't seen it before!
  • awtripp, on 05/20/2009, -5/+8How to kill a server in one easy step.
  • TheShad0w, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3They are easy if machining is your trade skill. I'm sure auto mechanics look at PC repair and think the same thing when a tech says "Oh yea it can be done in X easy steps"
  • zslice, on 05/20/2009, -2/+5there should be some number large enough that can go before the phrase "easy steps" to make the whole sentence contradictory. Screw it, can someone teach me how to build a space shuttle in 150 000 000 easy steps.
  • tumoas, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3that's damn impressive, but does it make the mac start up sound when you turn it on?
  • gmiley, on 05/20/2009, -3/+6In this instance, it may have been a better idea to split it up into 10-15 pages. With so many images loading each time one person goes to that single page, it's no wonder the server is choking.
  • BIGJOE1975, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3Dupe.

  • dslemons, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3Pretty awesome, no way I would have done that without a band saw though... drilling a trillion holes in 1/2 plate aluminum kind of sucks.
  • nato0519, on 05/20/2009, -0/+3IGN should take a few pointers here.
  • Zoshchenko, on 05/20/2009, -4/+6500 Internal Server Error - nice.
