WonderCon is known to many as the sister show to San Diego Comic-Con, the world's largest and most popular annual comic convention. The annual WonderCon event has been held in Anaheim since 2012 and celebrates all the latest in nerd culture including comics, movies, TV, and animation. Each year it attracts tens of thousands of people to the Anaheim Convention Centre and we were lucky enough to have to opportunity to sponsor one of the booths set up there this year.

Michael McMaster & Mike Senna showed off their BB-8, R2-D2, and Wall-E robots at this year’s WonderCon. This isn't the first time we've sponsored McMaster and Senna as they've taken their amazing robots to various conventions like this over the years. They were able to build the robots with the help of our linear actuators and even be hosted their own workshop at this year's convention to discuss how exactly they built their amazing robots in Room 210. Take a look at all the photos they were generous enough to share with us as well as some video footage from the event itself.
