Sounds for droids 2020 - upgrade 1.4

After the last testing and the feedback created being a nightmare and the ground loop isolater circuit just wasn't doing anything. So rather then using standard speaker wires, as can be seen in the video in my last post, I cut down the leads from the RCA leads and swapped the standard cable over for these.

OTHER WORK
Since then I've been working on creating 3D printable enclosures to house all the pieces.
Sorting out the orientations of them so will post up once done.

.......3D printed parts for the utility arms have been done

by a work college and are now in the post to me.

Thanks Will.

Zoom - UK Droids MOT talk

With Zoom being THE group video web chatting app in this time of world isolation, club members have been using it to keep in touch with fellow builders around from around the world. I've unfortunately not been available to join in on the last week weekend group chats, the last one which recently happened was a marathon one from around the world!

Well last weekend the R2D2 Droid Builders Club UK hosted a chat about the MOT system for droids here in the UK. The chat covered the aspects of what is required to be cleared for droid and operator to attend events with the club and representing the club.

We had a bout 70/80 people join in to hear Darren, Lee, Sam, Mark, Oliver & myself talk about the reasons why we have the MOT. We had fellow members of the world wide club also in attendance to ask questions and to see if it could be something reproduced in their respective countries.

The Club has a high profile and close links with Disney/Lucas films, attending film premier's and other promotional events. Having your droid & you cleared safe to operate safely to attend events and as such, representing the Club, also means that you are then able to be included with PLI.

So if your a UK builder and want to see and hear about the process, check out the forum at www.astromech.info or on www.droidbuilders.uk or on the clubs Facebook pages, for details on Saturdays Zoom chat, I believe the recorded session will possibly be posted up.....

Throw Back Thursday - Restart

With COVID-19 and everyone in lock-down's around the world, events where we would normally catch up with, not only fellow builders, but friends from cosplay groups as well.

So to help, hopefully, relieve the boredom, I'll post up links to past posts made around the appropriate dates.

The First would actually have been March and one of our first of the year:

Bristol Comic Con & Gaming Festival 2019

There's loads more to read etc on my Blog to keep you occupied.

STAY SAFE!
