Think they want to separate BB droids from R droids, which I find stupid as both are Astromech and should have stayed on one forum .. now you have to be a member of half a dozen forums for anything you are building, its a pain in the arse.

Also I think maybe because of the build councils rules on Astromech is a little too strict for some. I think they may shoot my idea down ... but its a easier way to build R2 Body

I am working on a CS:R frame/skin design so you buy a front and rear and just bolt together which gives you the frame and skin in only two pieces like how the hasbro toys are designed ...



Then you buy a skirt and bolt that on and ya done .. body complete ...all doors will be hinged and set up so people can add servos etc .. because the current way of building R2 is a pain in the arse also, and waiting on runs and bits and pieces is what I think is driving a lot of people away .. People want to build R2 and a few months not a few years.

Body/Frame will be hard plastic, then people just need to buy CS:R items like coin slots, vents, power couplings etc etc and place in the body

Have not thought about legs as of yet, but plan on doing something with them, maybe hard plastic horse shoes, boasters etc ...
