    RE: R2-D2 Obsession (was Re: What about the Micro Scout?) —Connelley, Christopher
   When you think about, the Star Wars movies easily be about R2-D2 rather than the humans.. He's in every one and saves the day usually at the risk of injuring himself in every movie.. He'll be the main reason I'll be getting the Scout if I do. (...) (25 years ago, 1-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

   (...) Greetings... If memory serves, Lucas has made statments about the 'Journal of the Whills' being either told from the droids POV or being, in the main, a chronicle of thier adventures. TPM seems to carry this thesis out fairly well, IMO. (...) (25 years ago, 1-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

   This thread about R2-D2 has been both interesting and informative. Now I would like to see an informal poll about the DDK ... 1) Don't buy it. 2) Buy only one. 3) Buy two to get a complete head and extra parts. 4) Whatever else comes to mind. (...)

     What type of batteries are used inside the Micro Scout? It looks too small for 6 AAA batteries. Does it use a 9V battery instead? Tilman (25 years ago, 1-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

   (...) Hmmm... I've already got my third RIS (and one RDS) and I still have absolutely no urge to go get the DDK. Am I missing something? Artoo's cool and everything, but really??? (25 years ago, 1-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

   (...) Not a True Believer, eh? <grin> Serious answer is that 'damnperfectionist' is one word -and- describes both myself and my Lady-Wife.
