collector-man Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Cool!! Have you ever thought of doing a battle-damaged Artoo?? That would kick ass!! Or how about a Dagobah Artoo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finalfrontier Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Cool!! Have you ever thought of doing a battle-damaged Artoo?? That would kick ass!! Or how about a Dagobah Artoo? i might put paint effect on him to dirty him up then when i want him new it just wipes off, i cant afford to make another this cost more than i thought nearly £5000 in all but well worth the time and money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 How did you replicate the Artoo sounds? Do you have the radar too as well as the periscope? I'm interested in knowing too how much it weighs if you dont mind all the questions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeDonovan Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I suppose it would be ideal if Kenny Baker was at C11! Does he run off a car battery? How will you charge him up during the day (I imagine driving him around wears down the battery a lot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finalfrontier Posted April 8, 2007 Author Share Posted April 8, 2007 i have made this video i hope the link works i hope it shows you all what he can do and please let me know what you think Click here to view your video email! if this does not work this will http://www.easywebvideo.com/users/my_r2d2.html thanks again for viewing please let me know your views I suppose it would be ideal if Kenny Baker was at C11! Does he run off a car battery? How will you charge him up during the day (I imagine driving him around wears down the battery a lot). he has 2 12 volt batteries one for each motor in each foot he can spin on the spot, he will run all day on 12 volt mode or 8 hours on 24 volt mode can can travell upto 8 miles a hour, the electrics and sounds run from a ciruit board set it the dome which has a seperate power supply which will last around 5 hours but do not take long to charge it takes 2 people to lift him, i have had problems with the motors in the feet the belts jump but its all trial and error im happy with him and the kids in the street love him doing local carnival this summer and any functions i can get invited to http://www.easywebvideo.com/users/my_r2d2.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
