R2D2 Progress Update - 10/24/2012
 

I am VERY happy with how things have turned out, and R2 is starting to look more like....well, R2 all the time! The outer skins are bonded with a combination of VHB tape and silicon. Don't ask why, it's proprietary!!

Here are a few pictures of R2's current state! As with the dome, all doors are secured with silicon so that they can easily be removed in the future when I decide to hinge them!

As always, here's a link to my full blog, and the website for the R2 builders.

Strange hobby but very impressive work. I'll bet pr_capone could do better, though.

Let's sell it and use the proceeds to fly a banner!

Can it project a "Fire Pioli" hologram?

"Help us Obie Wan Knobel! You're our only hope!"

FAX

God bless my fellow nerds. /salute

LMAO

Can I buy it from you for $50?


Just kidding. Very cool dude.

C'mon guys ... that was great.

Clark's middle name is "Knobel", get it? Knobel? And R2D2 shot out the hologram for Obie Wan Kenobi to help? But instead of Obie Wan Kenobi, it's Obie Wan Knobel, get it? Like almost the same?

Calling out for Clark to help? See? Get it?

FAX

Little too obscure for me this time, FAX. Thanks for explaining it though. Now it's ruined. You can't explain them. You just have to wait for another obscure nerd to come by.

I think FAX has jumped the Clark

LMAO - NOT too obscure. Brilliantly delivered. Are you always this funny?

Hot and cold

Yeah, me too. Mostly cold for me though.

I'm reminded of a quote. Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind.
