R2D2 Interactive Hacked!

I bought an R2-D2 interactive that was working and I just didn’t feel like I could hack it because it seemed somewhat alive! So I bought another one off of eBay that it had orange juice spilled into it. I hacked that one  and added the EZBV4 and two  L298N motor control boards (One for the left and right motor and one for the dome control motor).  I put together a mobile app using the interface in ARC. My next steps are to add sensors for some level of autonomous navigation. This is been really fun so far!
