I'm getting a little excited at the thought of 3D printing DRDs and having them fully functional!
So with the Makerbot replicator 2 there will be some size constraints in order to print the body to scale, unless it was cut in half and then adhered together later on.
I was thinking that these lamps from ikea would be perfect for the DRD eyes, as they would be pre-wired with LEDs already that are super bright.
I came across this today. It looks like the kit from the original post. It doesn't give the dimensions but it looks to be smaller than a Roomba. And I am quite sure some of the folks here can do a much better job of making this thing mobile than they did on this page.
Hey , yes I'm reviving this thread because I know lots of people like it. I'm working on a 3d design for farscape DRD tonight using the following pics as reference.
I hope this gets done. I sure would like to build one.
I with Steve, a version to fit over a Roomba/Create would be awesome. i would pay one of you guys with a 3d printer to print one for me....

Good find Jeremie.... those leds would be perfect...
It's fun to see how digging into history can spark new ideas.

Farscape Droid
Can I revive this DRD and Roomba thing? I still like the idea. Just need someone to design/make the shell.
