Hello Again,
I've been asked to post some pics of my R2 build. I'll toss them up. This has been approx. a 3 year project for me. I chose to go the 100% aluminum route with my R2. Purely a personal choice. I've had many revisions to my build over the years.
I look forward to retro-fitting R2 over to the EZ-B system. I'll be mounting the camera in his Radar eye, and the Sonar around his skirt area.
Basic overview:
Frame - Com8 Ver. A
Dome - Darren M. 300mm
Legs - JAG
Foot Shells - JAG
Leg Ankles - TotallyWired
Center Ankle - JAG
Holos - David Shaw
Front & Rear Logic Surrounds -David Shaw
Radar Eye - David Shaw
Power Couplers - David Shaw
Octogon Ports - David Shaw
LDP - David Shaw
JEDI Control - Scott Grey
Skins - John Sherrel
And probably a schwack more stuff I can't remember.

@Lumpy where did you find those nice illuminated switches?
I tried a search on these and didnt find them. :/
Very impressive framework on this bot sir! Are your speakers stereo or paralleled mono?
