I look forward to seeing your "more functional" R2... another thing that
would be cool is if you could make him "waddle" when in bipedal mode like he

Also, how are you planning on doing this? Are you going to use an RCX
computer instead of the "microscout" the DDK comes with? It's a very cool
idea, and I can't wait to see how you pull it off.
