R2D2
By: Martin Hunger and Christina Carr

That poor little droid. In the movies he's been shot at, plugged in, blown apart, dropped off, sold, bought, and worst of all... had to listen to the ramblings of that darn Protocol Droid.

This version of R2 has waited as we've collected parts over the last five years, has gone through two different domes for the head, burned out several motors and lights before choosing the right ones, has had three major redesigns to his legs and has had listen to the ramblings of the curious neighbourhood kids.

Stats for this droid:

Height: (in two wheel mode) 110 cm.
Body Diameter: 45 cm.
Drive Motors: Two 12V power wheelchair motors
Control: 6 channel FM aircraft radio control with an additional 32 switchable functions.
Features: Tilt and Upright modes of operation. Scanner, Periscope, Probe arm, Claw arm, 14 voices, Rotating head, Lights, Accessory port, and a ton of little openable panels for future crazy advancements.

Special thank you to all our friends for donating all their old VCRs, Printers and gizmos for us to rip apart and make this baby a reality.

Please note that he is stationary this weekend as one of his speed controllers blew and he's presently limping. Unfortunately the ordered (stronger) replacements did not make it in time for TT. Maybe next con. Watch out! He may get underfoot.
