宅神作:真实版机器人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.

经过了两年半的努力，来自加州奥兰治县的电脑程序设计师麦克-森纳终于造出了一个真实版的机器人瓦力。它能动，能绕圈，能说话，不过还不会收集垃圾。

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，电影《机器人瓦力》上映不久，我们曾拍到过几张用电脑机箱搭建的瓦力照片。但在森纳所取得的无以伦比的成就面前，这些照片显得异常苍白。

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.

这个机器人狂人花费了3200到3800工时，来建造这个独一无二版的热衷于垃圾收集的皮克斯动画可爱主人公。森纳的计算机程序设计技术无疑派上了用场。不过鉴于在这个世界上还没有任何类似瓦力的存在，这一切都必须从零开始设计。森纳每天在白天的工作后开始动手制作瓦力，每周在这上面花费25小时，终于这辛苦的劳作获得了成功。

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.

这并不是森纳制造出的第一个机器人。2003年，他制造出了专属的《星球大战》中的R2D2机器人，因而在技术宅们的小众圈子里已经小有名气。这次他最新造出的真实版瓦力已经开始在各种场合登场博得孩子们一笑，这同样也赢得了很多成年电脑迷的赞赏。
