And queue my favourite EZ-Robot video (and the real reason I knew I needed to get on board)...

@Rich, That is so cool! I laughed my tail end off watching that. Heck it made my wife smile.

@Slee- Thanks for sharing the pictures. I saw your R2 in your profile pic and really wanted to see some more pictures.

Ok here are a few more pics of R2.

@See the Sloth - Your pics inspired me to go over to astromech.net. I joined up and poked around. I have to say that the fact you got the thing built minus electronics is impressive enough, but to put this level of electronic sophistication into it as well.....I can't even tell you how jealous I am of your R2.

@jaultman Thank you for the kind words. I'm flattered that you are jealous of my R2. Now for the good news! You to can have an R2 like mine, one that is even better! I built my R2 the hard way. I had to use Arduino's and write the code line by line. There was certainly a lot of frustration getting all the component's to work together. For you and future builders of R2 and any other robots things will be much easer. EZb4 will certainly make things so much easer then the way I did it and it will be cheaper and involve so much less hair pulling and less dents in the forehead from banging your head on the wall! Truly I say to you, as much as can be done with an Arduino, you can do 10x more with EZ-Robot".

I really want to build a R2 soon after I get my B9 to an acceptable end point. Robby the Robot is the other dream robot I want to build. I'm very impressed with your work!

@Dave Schulpius , Thanks. I really like your B9 and will continue to fallow your progress on it.
