MCK-Y the Lego Mouse Droid Build

[lynellephi]

That's freakin' awesome! MCK-Y certainly has a great look to him.

I noticed that my droid was driving a little lopsided, so I made a battery mount out of bent metal and 3M picture hanging tape, mounted that crosswise (parallel to the back end), and mounted the battery on the metal shelf with cable ties. Now it doesn't wobble like before. Reason for the wobble was the battery was mounted on one long side of the chassis, making the center of gravity way off. If MCK-Y is wobbling try mounting the battery crosswise somewhere near center of the chassis. You might have a center of gravity problem. You also might have to get hard foam (or rubber) wheels instead of those plastic tires. Those tires probably can't handle the weight of your droid. I do like the look of the tires, but sometimes it's best just to accept defeat. I'm getting rid of R2-AL's pneumatic tires for hard rubber wheels even though I really tried to make the pneumatic ones work (I'm accepting defeat and upgrading AL).
