I am currently building an full size 1:1 scale R2 D2 from Star Wars. This is nothing new, but i don't thing any one is using the EZ Robot system to control it.
The Droid will be mostly 3D printed and i am planning on having it done around Desember if not earlier. The reason i want to use EZ Robot is because of the sensor and sound recognition. I don't like the idea of a Robot that i need to control, with EZ i can program it to follow commands by voice making it more "realistic"
My R2 will be able to do more then just drive around, i will be adding arms, and other gadgets that are seen in the film.
I will be filming the progress and post it on Youtube as i build it. Right now i am printing out the dome, and should be done printing in 2-3 days.
