Lumpy's - R2-d2 Build two-two's

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. ;)

Very impressive framework on this bot sir! Are your speakers stereo or paralleled mono?
