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! http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...P/photo1-7.jpg http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...P/photo2-9.jpg http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...P/photo3-7.jpg http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...P/photo4-7.jpg http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...P/photo5-5.jpg http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...BP/photo21.jpg http://i1189.photobucket.com/albums/...BP/photo11.jpg As always, here's a link to my full blog, and the website for the R2 builders. http://brandonpaith.blogspot.com www.astromech.net |
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!"

God bless my fellow nerds. /salute

Can I buy it from you for $50?
Just kidding. Very cool dude. |

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
