技術宅神作:真實版機器人Wall E

Mike Senna, a computer programmer from Orange County, California, has spent the last two and a half years building a real-life Wall-E robot, from scratch. It moves around, rolls and talks, but he doesn't collect trash.

經過了兩年半的努力，來自加州奧蘭治縣的電腦程序設計師麥克-森納終於造出了一個真實版的機器人瓦力。它能動，能繞圈，能說話，不過還不會收集垃圾。

In 2009, shortly after the movie Wall-E was launched, we featured some photos of cool Wall-E computer case mod, but that feat simply pales in comparison to Mike Senna's awesome achievement.

2009年，電影《機器人瓦力》上映不久，我們曾拍到過幾張用電腦機箱搭建的瓦力照片。但在森納所取得的無以倫比的成就面前，這些照片顯得異常蒼白。

The robot aficionado spend between 3,200 and 3,800 man hours building his very own version of the adorable Pixar trash-collecting hero. His computer programming skills definitely came in handy, but seeing as there were no Wall-E parts available anywhere on this planet, he had to construct the whole thing from scratch. He worked on it about 25 hours a week, after his day job, but all the hard work certainly paid off.

這個機器人狂人花費了3200到3800工時，來建造這個獨一無二版的熱衷於垃圾收集的皮克斯動畫可愛主人公。森納的計算機程序設計技術無疑派上了用場。不過鑑於在這個世界上還沒有任何類似瓦力的存在，這一切都必須從零開始設計。森納每天在白天的工作後開始動手製作瓦力，每週在這上面花費25小時，終於這辛苦的勞作獲得了成功。

This isn't Mike Senna's first robot, either. In 2003, he created his own version of R2D2, so he's pretty well-known in select geek circles. His latest creation has started making appearances at various events, putting a smile on children's faces and getting praised by adult geeks.

這並不是森納製造出的第一個機器人。2003年，他製造出了專屬的《星球大戰》中的R2D2機器人，因而在技術宅們的小衆圈子裏已經小有名氣。這次他最新造出的真實版瓦力已經開始在各種場合登場博得孩子們一笑，這同樣也贏得了很多成年電腦迷的讚賞。
