The making of a R2D2 clone

Wow, that R2D2 costume is seriously cool 8)

I don't understand why people complain about the guy (in the clip I posted) overdoing it. When people do that here with their cabs, the crowd goes wild and they get standing ovations. Or are people then just being polite because the builder himself is also reading?

I don't think he's overdoing it.   I also think building an R2 is probably much harder than building a cabinet.   There is some real engineering going on with building a drive system and building the electronics.

Agreed. I think it's cool as can be.

Bolting a trash can to a remote control car?  C'mon, don't overthink this.

Why overthink it when you could be flippant and dismissive instead? After all, even if you haven't done it yourself how hard could it be?

It's entirely possible, it seems so easy to do. What were you trying to say if I misinterpreted you?
