Not only does it look like the real AUTO, but the fact that he can speak and is fully functioning is really quite amazing! Very impressive work, Pixar Builder. I can see why it has taken you so long to make this!
Oh, and also, it’s preferred that each member have just one thread in the Fan Art section to post all of their creations and artwork in, so if you could just use this thread from now on to show us what you’ve been making instead of creating another new thread, that’d be great, thanks. 
Of course! Sorry, I’ll delete my other thread.
Holy cow, that’s amazing! Is he able to retract up his antennae (like how he makes his ‘entrances’ and ‘exits’ in the movie)?
Nope, he’s too heavy to be able to move like that safely. Also he would need to be attached to the ceiling in order to do that- mines movable. The only movement he has is with his wheel, his arm grabber, and extending/retracting his spokes.
Wow! Now that is talent! And skill! I am most impressed! Not to mention it looks really cool. Everything’s in proportion, all the details are there. Awesome
Thanks for your kind compliments lennonluvr9! If you like my Autopilot, you should also check out my mini M-O robot. I modified a Clean n Go M-O toy, so that he can roll around on a mouse ball wheel, have and LED siren light and have a motorized rotating cleaning brushes.
That is impressive!
You are certainly one with the machines, there! I’m looking forawrd to seeing your other works!
Wow, that is amazing!
You have exceptional talent, Pixar Builder!
Thanks so much you guys! I’m a engineering fanatic, and I especially love building PIXAR related things to show how realistic their films are. I’m currently working on several more WALL·E Builds (like EVE, and a steampunk WALL·E), as well as several Toy Story creations in prep for TS3. I post them all on my flickr site @ flickr.com/photos/mattoons/s … 866613425/ so you can check them out.
What other builds would you like to see (just curious)?
I wanna see a Luxo ball.
That’s what I’m giving my Luxo Jr. for X-Mas!
Here’s something I am really fond of. For my High School graduation project last year, I had to create something to reflect on everything I had learned in my life previously and show how I might be able to pass on this knowledge to others. So I created this paper model of Carl Frederickson’s house, put a few of my personal belongings inside, and sent it off in hopes that it might reach someone. I finally got a message back from a couple in Nevada, saying that they received it!
Haha, that’s so cool, Pixar Builder! So how far did it travel then? Looks like that A+ was definitely deserved.
Sorry for the repost guys, but I just wanted to get the message out:
Hey Everyone,
This is Pixar Builder just wanting to share with you a pet project of mine I’ve been working on for a while. As many of you may know, I love reverse engineering just as much as I love PIXAR and have a large collection of many homemade Pixar builds. After being on Pixar Planet for several months now, I am very amazed by how much other people also seem to share my love for PIXAR as well as building/ constructing their sets and characters. That’s why I recently created a small group called DIY PIXAR, a new online building group dedicated to showcasing each one of your magnificent PIXAR builds. Now I know the site’s currently under development, but we could really use the contribution. I was heavily inspired by Pixar Planet in creating this and I’d hope to see all of your amazing PIXAR creations!

Wow, your idea of sending a miniature floating house inspired from the movie is nothing short of terrific!
Can’t wait for your new site!
Thanks thedriveintheater! But if you love this build, you should see what I have planned for my next build. A (near) full scale Extraterrestrial Vegegetation Evaluator Blimp!
I’ll be posting more builds on my site soon, so please join!
Hey Guys!
Man you would not believe the awesome weekend I just had! This past weekend, May 22-23, was the San Mateo County Maker Faire, the giant DIY festival for homemade builds and makers alike! I was there, of course, with a few members of my group to promote my new building group DIY PIXAR. I brought in all of my latest PIXAR builds and creations.
Here’s small photo gallery of some of our highlights in preparation and at the faire!:
These are my group badges I made for my members. I made them from shrink plastic and they came out great!
Here’s me (on the right) and my good friend Celeste (left) as well as an overview of our booth at the Maker Faire. It looks pretty cool! (not sure if you can tell, but floating above us is my RC flying Up house) 
Here’s an Etch-A-Sketch drawing I made for our booth’s display. As fans of the films, I bet you can already tell where each letter comes from.
Finally, here’s a really good shot of the both of us along with the R2-D2s from the R2 builders ( I specifically requested that I be placed right next to their booth).
I’m sorry I don’t have more pics of my booth itself, but I took more videos this year than pics. If you want to, here’s a video look at my booth: flickr.com/photos/mattoons/4638560148/
Overall, yeah, we had a really fun time! The Maker Faire is completely awesome and if you’re ever in the Bay Area when it happens (May) please tell me!
Exactly how big will the actual-size Eve blimp be, Pixar Builder? Cos’ zeppelins can get ‘Superbowl’ big… 
Anyway, love the pics of your builder fair. Your partner looks lovely and you look dapper in that suit! But why the straight face in your video? 
Hey thedriveintheater, good questions! First, concerning the Eve Zeppelin, I’m trying to make her full size, or as close to a full size replica as I can get. Based on character height sheet, as well as her height according to the boot, I’ve calculated she’s roughly around 2 1/2 feet tall. The paper model I’m basing my blimp produces 7’’ models and using paint I’m blowing it up 400%. I want it to be life size, but relatively easy enough to inflate and still float.
As for the video, I honestly didn’t know my dad was recording me at the time. Besides, it wasn’t a huge grin but I did smile
Wow! Those are some pretty amazing builds! Very impressive! Your talent and passion for Pixar definitely show! Keep it up!
