Looked at JAG Aluminum Frames. No Production runs scheduled in near future. May just build the frame myself.
Dome[edit | edit source]
Laser Cut Aluminum Milled Dome procured.
Side Legs[edit | edit source]
Aluminum milled legs procured.
Center Leg[edit | edit source]
I Do want a flip down wheel. The droid needs to be able to function mechanically like r2d2.
