One of the things I have enjoyed as I've grown older is being comfortable with who I am and not worrying about what other people think. If it is exciting to you, your friends and family will be interested just because it is "your thing".

And if you do care what people think, I'm pretty sure that once people see the completed working robot their tune will change. And if you take it around to show kids and others, they'll be appreciative of what you've done even if they do think it is extremely nerdy.

Have you ever thought about hooking up with one of the local school robotics clubs? There are plenty, and they kick ass... If they're part of the FIRST robotics system, they break the seal on their kits in February, then it's six weeks of late nights building their robots...

It's different, it's NOT battle-bots, but they build them pretty much from scratch, programming and all, to play a game that announced "that night" in February... There was an awesome documentary over the summer about FIRST an ABC, and it really showed what was going on. And the world finals (held in St. Louis for the next two years), was an awesome site to see...

Sweet. I bought the interactive r2d2 for my son for Christmas. Can't wait till he sees it tomorrow. He's three so it will be life size when he plays Luke Skywalker.

She started "working nights" because you were playing with your robot.

While Chewie takes her point five past lightspeed.

What about R2's rocket boosters from the prequels?

I have a LOT of tools at my disposal, so I wanted to find something that would be fun, intriguing, challenging, and rewarding. Finally, I stumbled on a website called the R2 Builder's Club. I began reading a little and was sold within a few minutes. I started back in June of this year, and have built most everything from scratch so far. I do have many parts on order like the dome (www.300mmdome.com) and some aluminum skins (it's what gives R2 his panels, body, etc).

So I invite you all to check out my build blog, take a look at my progress and just kind of show off what I am proud to have accomplished so far.

When it's done, it will be taken to area Children's Hospitals along with nursing homes, conventions, and any other thing where people might see him and enjoy the opportunity.

I know this is kind of nerdy on Chiefsplanet, but hopefully everyone will play nice and realize that this is more for charity and bringing joy to people. If you have any questions, feel free to post here or send me a PM.
