| What to do with your DDK |
|
| The great thing about the DDK is that
you can build a cool R2D2 with it. But look carefully, my R2D2 is
unlike many others. It's been greatly modified (enhanced?) |
|
These two are inseparable as you are doubtless aware
|
|
|
 |
This earlier version had the following features:
Turn-table for head turning
Motor in each external leg
Free wheel in middle leg
Light sensor in head
Touch sensor in front of body
Touch sensor in rear of each external leg
MicroScout retained to give body fullness
MicroScout motor freed for fibre optic drive
|
 |
The most unique feature of my R2D2 is that a large turn-table is incorporated into
the main frame.
This provides a very sturdy base for the rotating head.
Btw, it's quite tricky to get the 2x10 grey plate in between the pair
of long beams |

| My Enhanced R2D2 (final version) |
|
|
|
|
|
| Several of the earlier features were dropped in the
final version. I just wanted an R2D2 that, well, looked and behaved
like the real thing. |
