after seeing all you’ve done it looks like it’s gonna be the easiest part for you to handle!
WOW…thank you and everyone
WOW…thank you and everyone else for all of your humbling comments. This is really a friendly and welcoming group. I glad i joined.
I dont see a problem with the gears nor movement part but…my hope is to make him 99,9% like the movie version. The only thing it wont do is retract its legs into the body. This means I have a few issues to figure out.
After I’ve built Walle or during that build I was thinking of starting on a Droidikas. It looks cool if i can figure out how to get it to walk on just 3 leg. I could do a 4 legged one but I want it like the movie version as well. By the way, the movie version was CGI only. Lucas never built on for SW.
Droidikas :O°°° That’s
Droidikas :O°°° That’s gonna be hard.
I’ve got a question: what kind of hardware are you using for sound effetcs?
Yeah, its going to be very
Yeah, its going to be very hard. Thats why I’m making wall e at the same time. It gives me a chance to balance the difficulty 
I’m planning to get original sound clips from SW and re-edit, clean-up and so forth. Then I will be hooking up a 4.1 suround sound system. My artoo has a 4.1 CreativeLabs system which works like a dream playing converted mp3 files. I then us my remote to active the sounds.
Can I come over and play one
Can I come over and play one day? I’m sure you have the coolest stuff. Really I’m quite impressed, your attention to detail, realism and functionality put your bot a cut above. I look forward to your future contributions to the site.
The word “WOW” just
The word “WOW” just doesn’t elaborate how much I really appreciate all of the kind comments from you and everyone else at the LMR. In all honesty almost anyone can do what I did. It just took a lot of time and patience. At mid-point of building my artoo I was really about to just give up because all of those details you mentioned were just a pile of parts on my living room floor. I even had a few setbacks with my “skinning” process around the frame that forced me to take a new approach. It was more the 2 sets forward 1 set back approach during the entire building process. I am very glad that all of you can understand that it wasn’t built overnight.<o:p></o:p>
I have to also admit that many of LMR’s smaller robot creations have given me zillions of ideas to make my up and coming robot projects super cool<o:p></o:p>
O.O
OOOOh!! it’s…it’s… it’s awesome! you did a great huge job!! One day I will build one! I love it! so cute… but… did you buy all the pieces including the frame?
are you sure?
Are you sure you didn’t just hire a midget to go into the shell? LOL Nice job though. More if a fan of the scout troopers in the back of the picture though 
I 100% agree
I 100% agree with this statement “I love a challenge, I’ve love the entire astrodroid concept as well as Star Wars (of course) and face it R2’s the real hero.”
Art
Wow, it’s beautiful!
Hostage
Looks like those scout troopers took R2 hostage. Better grab a blaster and kick thier @ss LOLz
