Got it in my head to build an R2D2--I've loved Star Wars since it came out and I''ve got a D-I-Y maker ethic, so it was a pretty obvious project. This blog documents the whole build, and now that the R2 is done, it includes public appearances, parts construction, new projects, modifications, and tweaks. I learned a lot from the builders who did this before me. I hope this blog does the same for others who start the project.
