Our WALL-E joined Victor Franco's R2-D2 at Children's Hospital Orange County (CHOC) to spread joy to the hospitalized children (and of course the staff!).
Fun story: We ran into a staff member who said her dad played the drums for the Star Wars movies. We were kind of skeptical, then she said her uncle actually composed the music. We were a little puzzled, then noticed her last name was Williams. Sure enough, she was John Williams' niece!
Mike Senna, well known from the remote-control R2-D2 replica he built in 2003, is now building a working WALL-E replica from the Pixar film. Completely scratch built, as there are no hobbiest parts available.

Riverside Robotics article in Press Enterprise
Mike's appearance with his WALL-E at the Riverside Robotics Expo at the Woodcrest Library was featured in the Press Enterprise. There's an error in the article: R2-D2 is the one who recently appeared in TV commercials for Verizon Wireless and Toyota Prius, not WALL-E.
