You are thinking, "Wait, I have seen that on him before". Well before it wasn't attached. Next pic you will see the spacers. If you look closely you will see the spacers. Here is the video. The screws that are facing up . Those are the screws that will be attached to the dome. That is all for now. I have a window on Sunday to work on R2. Just to get an idea of what i have left to do. I have to finish the dome, legs, feet, motors, electronics, dome electronics, and paint. I have a long way to go and a short time to get there. See ya next time.

I have been very lazy in the build of R2 but that doesn't mean that i haven't done anything to him. I have ordered some parts that i need for him. The first parts came in are the Utility arms. These are made with resin plastic. They are very light weight. I am hoping that this will get me energized again to start building on R2 again. More parts will be here in next few months.

Sith Apprentice Posts: 609 Mon, 2 Aug, 2010 2:08 PM 2010 GFA Boards Benefactor *Kissimmee*	Here are just a few things i have been working on. This is a slip ring connection kit. I had to put two of these together and it didn't come with the slip ring or cables. I had to learn real fast on how to solder. It was fun putting these together with my chubby fingers. Anyway, these are for dispersing power to areas that need power. This is the slip ring.. I need one of these. So if you know where i can get one, please let me know. This is the left shoulder hub that i am working on.. Legs gets connected to the shoulder hub and both gets connected to the body.. More to come in the near future.

Sith Apprentice Posts: 609 Tue, 31 Aug, 2010 8:17 PM 2010 GFA Boards Benefactor *Kissimmee*	Its been awhile but i do have some progress on R2. I am building him out of HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene plastic) The shoulders are done. Although i have to drill in the holes on the one on the left but initially are done. Now i am working on one of the legs now.. One of the hardest parts of this is going to be the curve. I have contacted our founder and the guy who set up the blue prints for the styrene build, his name is Dave Everett, is how he did the curve. He had told me is to use a router. This is going to be tough. Well that is it for now. More to come in the future.
