When I say "movie robot" what's the first thing that comes to mind? If you're like most people, you are probably thinking "R2D2!" R2 has become something of a cultural icon, and I was looking for a new hobby. After exploring the EZ-Robot site and tackling my first project, an almost-complete Wall-E. I decided it was time to dive in. After working my way through some of the advanced features that EZ-Robot offers, I began. It seems every day I learn another feature or function from the site, and it has served me well as I've progressed beyond Wall-E. Armed with this new knowledge, I decide to attempt my biggest project yet: a variation of the R2D2 droid, called R7-M1.
A Syren 10 motor controller, powered by a 12 volt battery, is used to provide movement to the dome/head. Another two 12 volt batteries are powering two scooter motors, which are controlled by a Sabertooth 2x25 motor controller.
The Ez-B controller is managing the control functions of the MP3 trigger, wireless joystick, Syren10, and Sabertooth2x25 , and also features a personality generator, voice recognition system, random sound and movement, and camera eye tracking.
I'm looking forward to adding even more functions using sensors and other devices. Stay tuned for more to come!

Hello to all my EZ-Robot friends...... Im sorry that I have been away for a while.
"Golf Season" has started here for me and I was in desperate need to get my driver swing back into gear. Dont worry my friends, I managed to do some building in bewteen playing. So here is what I have manage to put together while golfing:here, I worked on making the center foot from using some roller blade wheels
I changed the design of the old set of legs I had, to a more sturdier set shown here
I decided to work on my electrical board which consists in using : EZ-B controller, the Sabertooth 2x25, the Syren10, the MP3 Trigger, and the Sure 2x25 amp, a fuse block, some fuses and 14 gauge wire. NOTE: all the components are controlled by the EZ-B Controller using an XBOX wireless controller.
Here, I started to put it all together
and here is a tiny video on what my droid(Stan) can do now, by using the Ez-B controller with an Xbox wireless joystick

More to come soon, Hopefully, I will be adding sensors so it doesnt bump into walls and move around freely without crashing or getting stuck.........

I'm amazed , I am going for.that kind of smooth , that sir is a smooth operator.
@GotRobbed
That is really a nice job on construction. Looks very professional. I have a few questions when you get time.
How are you mounting / securing the motors?
Where did you get the nice casters? Looks like you changed out the castors for scooter wheels later on for the center foot. Am I right?
Does the ring gear for the dome come from the R2 Builders site? If not, where did that come from? It is so nice! Looks like originally you were using a scooter wheel to turn the dome.
What payload do you expect it can carry using the motors you installed? How much does he weigh now?
Wish I had your talent!
I think the guy that said SICK really Meant SLICK!
:D
