      No I wouldn’t use the money – if I won – to make WALL-E. That’s mainly because I think the prize money should be used for more ‘community’ and science communication type projects. But also because to make a real-life working WALL-E will cost a lot of money. Far far more than £500! Just to make a start would I think cost more like £500,000.
