Hello everyone so i have begun building my full size astromech droid! I know that this project is going to take a long time but I feel it will be worth it in the end. My droid will be built from styrene and 3d printed parts. The dome is actually a security mirror but requires a 2" riser made from a floral craft ring and styrene cover.
I wil be loading larger and not sideways photos soon.... stress

Awesome! @Robot56 Thanks for sharing and inspiring up and coming roboticists!
that is so awesome!
I was so shocked when I got this envelope in the mail! All of the kids from a class wanted to write me thank you letters for showing off the robots. Makes all the robot building totally worth it
I hope to be able do the same thing again next year

I love that they all did drawings. Very nice.

is it going to be r/c or autonomous
as of right now the dome is autonomous but the body is remote control. the droid weighs around 100 lbs and has no sensors. one day soon I hope to get some sensors put in the body.
my senior design project is a robot that follows a person so I will implement that once my senior project is completed

the aluminum frame is coming along slowly but surely.. one task a day during my final semester of mechanical engineering.... stress stress stress
