Archive for the ‘ R2-D2 ’ Category
I Received my R2 Builders Patches as well as the MSE-6 one 🙂
They are really looking AWESOME ! and once again… I need a new bag… 
enjoy!
Changed my mind for the batteries in the Astromechs & the MSE-6. Instead of going with Li-Po Battery packs, I’ll be building a few Nano Phosphate Battery packs (A123 batteries in fact). They might be a bit more heavy and less powerful (with and without load) but they don’t have the fire hazzard warning (unless you dead short them continiously, which could ignite them… but that’s not going to happen). And Actually, I’m VERY concerned with the fire hazzard warning. I really don’t want a possible risk of fire in my droids!
More comming on that topic soon… well, as soon as I can get some A123 batteries…
My girlfriend and I finally decided on which astromechs we’d be building.
Mine will be named R6-P4 (P4 stand for Prototype-4th).
Her’s will be a classical R2-D2.
Both will have sort-of the same features (2-3-2, all MicroControlled, Moving HPs, Logic Board, Gyro Stabilised and the list goes on and on and on…). Only difference is that on Mine, I might integrate a Pico Projector in the HP (still unsure). Both will drive on LiPo battery pack and will be made of Styrene (until we redo them in aluminum).
I will post the Colouring Pattern for the R6 sometime later when I’ll have time.
Stay tuned !
