The Anatomy of an R2-D2 Astromech Droid! 

I so much want one of those! 🤣

​@@shinigamilee5915 me too

Hello old me

Oh dear

My little blue friend

Hello there, General Kenobi.

duon44 1st reply.

what

I actually want to build a custom RC R2D2 with a mini projector in it. Who needs a laptop when I have R2 on the job. :P My project will be expensive but it is my dream PC and willing to spend the cash on it instead of a nice car.

See @podoadstudios

+Roxas theNobody he did a review on the creator lol

Roxas The Nobody well you can't just mess with some creation all Willy nilly XD

If you go to their page , all the info on building one ,everything inside etc , is available to you . The interview was about the builders , the website is mentioned , there will be the droids ,you are searching for

Chris Ballinger Build it sooner rather than later while the kids are still small enough to fit inside Chris - you could save a fortune on fancy electronics.. ;-)

+Chris Ballinger: I started my R2 build a few years back, bought the dome, built the body and legs. If you can't make a lot of the parts yourself, you need to spend a LOT of money to buy them. I'm trying to do it as cheaply as possible, so for some parts I scavenged (like the cylinder things on his shoulder i used cdrom motors).

+Aussie Muscle How do you make the dome?

I bought one, but you can make it with fiberglass and wood.

dose this mean in the near future we will use R2-D2s BB8s and C3s

aDotFromTheFuture b-but they did show the inside starting at around 34 seconds in...

chroboe Yeah, that's not what I mean. They should have given us a more detailed view and explanation, of what's going on inside.

aDotFromTheFuture I think if the title were different I might be less disappointed with videos like these. So often they have videos with titles like "Building a ..." or "The Anatomy of. . ." and then they barely show the item in question.

+aDotFromTheFuture You do realize they have their entirely own dedicated website, right? Probably a better source for what you're after than some cheesy 7 min RU-vid video. Just sayin'...

Who Knows Sigh... my point was, if you're going to make a video about an operational R2D2 and imply with the thumbnail that you're going to be talking about how it works, then why not just do that? Even the title implied that. But yeah, it was all done just as a clickbait...

Snuggle bum Or hire a half-decent cameraman. "I have a button here that opens all the panels" *blurry shot of some hands, Norm's crotch and the R2's midsection as the focus racks back and forth*

True

dead 😭😭😭😭😭

1. Yes, several have been made. It's a highly individualized design kind of thing, and a lot of difficult concepts to tackle. 2. To my knowledge, no, but I've heard the idea tossed about several times. 3. Several configurations have been used through the years. From inexpensive cast urethane with timing belt pulleys, to pneumatic tires, to off the shelf wheels with hubs from hobby robotics companies. A few have tried treads, but these are mainly driven tank-style, and even in four wheel configs there can be a bit of scrubbing on tight turns. Currently Colson wheels with a softer durometer are popular, as well as a custom wrapped tire around a wheel with integrated motor and planetary gears. The know-how is on the official site, along with a few hundred experienced builders and very friendly guys willing to help. Can't help with the money or time though. :) But the project takes a looong time, and will not be completed in the short term, making it more feasible cost-wise.

Steve Carmichael All it takes is time and some research! Go for it.

Frank Lieberwirth u have broken headphones?

Frank Lieberwirth It's in stereo mate. Problem is on your end.

Von Antero it's one of the bugs in the new HTML5 player

I'm learning so much from this though.

jorenmartijn Whateveh makes you happy, Misteh Jay.

jorenmartijn Go for it! My R2 always wanted to date her!

jorenmartijn that's an awesome idea actually

Oh and that robot the mechanic of the series had would be cool. The one with three wheels. :) Perhaps somewhere in the future I might take that project on. Maybe when there's an open source variant for Siri so I can have her respond to things I say. :D

jorenmartijn Some programmers are working on what they call EZ-AI for robots. It works with the software from EZ-Robots to give you a robot the you can chat with and it will recognize your face and talk about things you like to talk about. It can know the likes of everyone in your house so it wont sing children's rhymes to the adults in your house or let the kids search for things they shouldn't on the web. It has full use of the internet for information if you want to ask the weather or have it search the web for you. Voice control is getting better and better and this new AI makes it smarter.

They must be built, for a lot of reasons.

***** head movement is done using a lazy susan 17in by5/8 the dome drive is connected to the body. I built one and building my 2nd

logandarklighter Yeah, fuck the R2s - I want one of THOSE!

Larry Power no need to get mad. it just looked like a protectron from that angle and distance.

the robot in the background is called Robbie the Robot, he's from the 50's movie "the forbidden planet". the protectrons from fallout 4 are actually based on Robbie.

hardrockinhere yeah what does it mean by ‘referer’? I entered 5 different things and it turned me down all 5 times

Bryan de Sá basically here already right?
