I'll just put it on front street. I have a nadir of an idea for my SW tribute. This is in no way a project announce as I'm just researching feasibility. I'm leaning towards building this: or this: With either-or I plan to have it running SW, ESB, SW Trilogy, SW Racer Arcade, and ROTJ Vector if the Urban Interactive guy ever finishes it up. What I would like to do is have the projector disguised in the build so 90% of the time it's art and then when I'm feeling froggy I can jump on it and play a game or 12. Neither one would look especially good hooked up to a monitor so I figured this would be a good application for a projector. I can always install water cooling lines around the projector. * I ripped the images of wookiepedia, if the links go dead it's between a Sith FC-20 Speeder and an Imperial 74-Z speeder. |

Whoa. Totally, not what I was guessing :applaud: If you're asking for votes (and you're not, but what the hell), I'd lean toward the speeder bike. That thing is just iconic. but hiding a projector in it might get tough. It'd be one hell of a build if you attempt it though! |

For the 74-Z I would like to have the bike on a tilt mech so the roll analog input comes from leaning (or depressing the foot pedals) and the pitch from the speeder handles. I'll also create a quick disconnect so that the handles can operate independently for SW Racer Arcade (While I'm dreaming, what the hell right?). I'm thinking that I'll also map the roll onto the handlebars so the rider can choose either play method. This of course is my pipe dream. My Retro-futuristic Mission Control Opus build. But it would only be so cool if I can't start with a great screen image and build around that. |

Much props to you, Chuck, for continually thinking outside the box. |
