Wall-E GameCube Mod is Too Cute

This was posted on the Wall-E Builder’s Group yesterday, and I thought I would share!

Wall-E GameCube Mod is Too Cute (but Not Too Cute for the Giz)

wallemod1.jpgLong before the Pixar movie hits the big screen this summer, a group of German modders have been inspired by Wall-E’s cuteness to take an old and unloved Nintendo GameCube and some scraps of metal and acrylic, and put together a sweet mod that looks just like the little robot himself.

It even has tank treads and a flip-down shutter, like Wall-E’s, over the Gamecube’s ports. Frankly, its so loveably “realistic” that we’re pre-emptively sniffly, imagining what the movie will be like. [Bit-Tech via TechEBlog]galleryPost(‘wallemod’, 3,”);

CNC Fairy tale

•February 20, 2008 • 1 Comment

Once upon a time (About 12 months ago), In a land far far away (Perth Australia) there was a Lathe.
It was a bit dull and sat around most of the time doing simple jobs, until one day a man (ME) decided to automate it (Computer controlled – CNC).

So it was was striped naked of it’s manual parts like the king and his clothes.
And new parts were supplied by some of the local merchants (EBay).
High precision screws (ball-screws) and motors were fitted.

The machine was alive.

It was happy machining new shapes and showing off to everybody that came near by, for a while.
It got bored and sat around again.

Until Wall-E came along and now it has a new purpose in life.

THE END
