Millions of users download 3D and 2D CAD files everyday.
Start working on prototype and integrating the components we’ve been working on for the last couple weeks Dassault Systmes 3D ContentCentral is a free library of thousands of high quality 3D CAD models from hundreds of suppliers. Keep working on supporting components in the prototype. Experiment with CMUCam and other sensors. This planet is around 180 billion kilometers away from the sun and has an orbit of around 15,000 years. This planet, known as Planet X, is a gas planet that is about the size of Neptune. Return to design proposal and consider the different sensing systems identified. On January 20th of this year two scientist, Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin, have found the 9th planet. Start making arms and dispensing mechanisms as well! Start acquiring materials for first prototype. Make sure each moving component and any rotating items have the necessary motor and perform general calculations for torque, speed, etc. List out specific motors needed to acquire based on our systems list.

Be warned, it’s not the easiest build and you’ll need a standard VEX IQ kit as well as lots of spare parts. If you’d like to have a go at building your own version, you can download the instructions here. Have you built your own VEX IQ Astromech Droid? Please send me a photo, I’d love to see what you’ve come up with and add your version to our little gallery. Having a few sets of eyes go over my original design was fantastic, with both Steve and Andreas often suggesting changes here and there to make the instructions easier to follow and a better model in the end.
With the help of the awesome Andreas Dreier ( /projects/r2d2/r2d2.html) and Steve Hassenplug ( /VEX/R2/), they took the CAD model with my crude step-by-step breakdown and turned it into a series of Building Instructions that anyone can follow. Maya 2018 Tutorial - Cartoon House breakdown - Modeling - Lighting - MASH.
I was travelling for work so holed up in a hotel for a few nights in a row and managed to get 80% of the CAD model done in that time. Maya is a 3D modelling, simulation, and animation software for film, TV.
So on to version 3, and this time I decided to design in LDCadVEX first, based on photos and video I had of Version 2.
A few weeks of frantic calls from the organisers and still no luck in locating him ? Unfortunately disaster struck and R2 never made it to the conference and disappeared somewhere enroute :(. I had a request for R2 to be displayed at an interstate conference so I packed it up in plenty of bubblewrap and then waved goodbye as the couriers collected the box. Version 2 was really well received and I got so many requests for building instructions! I drove him nearly non-stop throughout the entire 2017 VEX World Championships and it was so much fun to watch everyone interact with such a great little droid. motor/servo limit switches There are 8 Analog input. It got a lot of positive comments from plenty of people so I figured I do a version 2, in the right colours ? Ni-MH, Ni-Cad or Alkaline AAA batteries are OK, but do not mix. Unfortunately I didn’t have a wide selection of colours and so my first version came out predominantly grey. Fast forward a few months and I had a bit of downtime with work and so built my first version. I’ve always loved R2 from the Star Wars movies, and so in the back of my mind I’ve always wanted to build my own version. As I was doing it, I was amazed at how everyone knew R2 and wanted to interact with it.
At the VEX World Championships in 2016, I was really lucky to have the opportunity to drive around Steve Hassenplug’s full sized VEX R2D2.
