 | | Improving Mindstorms R2??? —Steve Bliss
|
| | | I just nabbed a second copy of the Mindstorms Droid Developer Kit[1], and I've been thinking about how to make a better R2, and what the functions should be. Then I realized I wasn't even sure what functions the reel R2 has... So, in the interests (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

I'm pretty sure he can roll only in tripedal mode. Also, (...) (24 years ago, 28-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | (...) That would be cool, but I'm not sure how to do it. The MindStorms R2 is too small to fit Kenny Baker ... (...) I'm not sure it'll have a MindStorms brain at all. The Microscout is next to useless, and the RCX is too big and too yellow. Maybe (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

| | | | | I'm working a few of these ideas, but basically I was annoyed at how *SMALL* it was (the DDK) so I've started making a "life" sized R2 simmilar to Eric Harshburger's and the one at Legoland, but this won't be a static sculpture. The head will turn, (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

They were arguing over a small torch or something :-) Jennifer Clark (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)

| | | | | | (...) Actually, being the huge Star Wars geek I am, I don't think R2 ever zaps Yoda... All he does is grab at the lamp with his arm. He DOES zap an Ewok in ROTJ though... he also uses a small buzz-saw to cut through a net that they get trapped in... (...) (24 years ago, 29-Nov-00, to lugnet.starwars, lugnet.technic)
