[edit] About

Planning on realizing my childhood dream of owning a droid.

[edit] Break it down ( 1980s spin-masters obligatory )

[edit] Frame

Looked at JAG Aluminum Frames. No Production runs scheduled in near future. May just build the frame myself.

[edit] Dome

Laser Cut Aluminum Milled Dome procured.

[edit] Side Legs

Aluminum milled legs procured.

[edit] Center Leg

I Do want a flip down wheel. The droid needs to be able to function mechanically like r2d2.

[edit] Motor Control & Drive System

Reading up on things others have done. My ask Zach to supply RepRap motor control system. Seems most of the R2 units us a similar driver system.

[edit] CPU

Looking into low power small profile boards now.

[edit] Optional Stuff

[edit] Status

Waiting on Legs. Beginning dome work. Investigating / Sourcing parts.
