With the new Acolyte trailer hitting the internet yesterday there was also an advert from Disney and Autodesk for a 'design a droid' competition. In it, we see the reveal of a new droid, a droid unlike any we've seen before. Its actually more like a tricorder with a droid brain and about the same size as one. Its called Pip. Obviously we need to be able to build one - so I'm giving it a go. There'll actually be two versions. One with the moving head and one where the bottom section opens out. There's no way you can get servos in there and have it open up! Stayed tuned to here and the channel for updates and the eventual design for people to download and build!

I've just built the centre ankle on R2 (video in the next couple of days) and now I'm turning my attention to the feet. I have a vague idea of how I'm going to do the drives.
But the centre foot is presenting a problem. Vex is out of stock again, however I do actually have 4x 4inch omnis already!.... Ish.
I actually have 2x v1 4inch vex omnis and 2x 100mm omnis from active-robots. (I think they are servo city)
So now I get the fun job of trying to retrofit the 100mm Omni to attach to the vexframe. They don't have spacers for these or locking pins and the bearings are fitted in the factory. Yeah, this'll be fun...

700 subscribers! From the bottom of my heart I can't thank you enough for supporting our channel. It takes a lot of effort to work on the projects between a full time job and two young kids, let alone film and edit the videos. So to see it growing this way makes me happy! Glad to see that it's helping people with their builds, whether it be Chopper, R2 or a Proton pack.
