From July 2, 2005 through May 20, 2007, I worked on building R2-D2, with help from Mike Senna, Kelvin Miyake, and numerous other new friends and part suppliers from the R2 Builders Group.
@soccer7mainiac I managed to find free time between 8:00pm - 1:00am on weeknights. I decided that wasn't such a good idea when I built the second one, which is why that one took about twice as long.
Yes, there is an R2 Builders Club, with free blueprints. Check out astromech d o t net, for starters. Sorry for the crazy notation, stupid YouTube does not allow URLs. Also look up the R2 Builders Group on Yahoo Groups. Both require free registration to join. Just a bunch of hobbyists who enjoy building droids.
There was a mr potato head with a storm troopers head on it
