Nerd Crew - My robotic R2D2 build v. still in progress.
I have quite a bit of time on my hands considering my GF still works evenings on occasion....usually 2 -3 nights per week, but enough so that I needed to find something to do with my time.
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. http://brandonpaith.blogspot.com 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. LINKS. www.astromech.net (club's website) http://vfranco.blogspot.com (a finished R2 done step-by-step) |

I always think projects/hobbies that combine a variety of skills (wood working, metal working, mechanics, electronics) are appealing.
