Mike's Droid R2-TNGO : conversion upgrade Part 2

Thursday lunchtime I popped up to see Mike as he wanted to have his new droid MOT’ed.

New legs cut from wood.
New motor inner foot shells.
New metal outer foot shells.
New centre leg.
New Dome gear setup.
New batteries…….

A solid upgrade from two leg to three legs.
The electrical system was half new, wires for the motors and battery hookup, with the main Padawan 360 setup, including sounds, being all on a board that is a simple unplug and remove from one droid, and fits into another droid.

Mike showed me the new batteries he had bought, lifepo ones, these were SUPER lightweight!!!


Saturday was its first event. Mike had a great time and got to meet another Mike.
