Homemade R2D2s

   I was wondering when the concept of Battle Bots would meta into creating an R2D2 so precisely. My favorite SW character, I'd be tempted to buy one if I was filthy rich. I love the fire extinguisher detail. And the Zune docking hack was brilliant!

   How can you go through the trouble and expense of building one of these and not have it cool and dispense beer?

   There is a naked one in the shot.

   Very interesting to see these R2D2's evolve into the real thing as technology gets better and better. And then one fine day somewhere in the future, someone will proudly present a reallife R2D2 that has as much intelligence and capacities as the movie-character. That'll truly be a Wow-Moment.

   The hell with Artoo. I want an obsequious, effeminate C3P0 I can beat with a baseball bat when I get pissed off.

   Ok, that was harsh. But I hate that character.

   Fully-functioning? So it repairs x-wings, too?
