R2-D2 is one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars universe. It’s not for nothing that he appears in (almost) every movie and series.
But can you build your own astromech droid? There are endless questions, which I would like to answer with my lecture R2-D2 & Co. – Building Astromechs. Besides building astromechs, I will of course also introduce the R2-Builders-Club as well as the various forums.
Contentwise I will inform about the different types of building (plastic, mixed, aluminum, 3D printing), how to get parts and which questions you should ask yourself in advance. Why? Building an astromech is a long-term project! You need stamina and honesty about your own abilities and possibilities to build.
So if you have always been enthusiastic about R2-D2 & Co. you can get a lot of background information about the originals and the droids built recently for the movies.
