RE: Building BB-9E droid from Star Wars, Episode I "Madness is Back"
This is going to be so cool. I prefer the sleak look of the "evil" bb8, personally.
I think for my astromech I have decided on a small R2 then a larger Chopper :)
Honestly, I like the black and chrome too! :) I plan to make his head move at random left and right, so it can watch the space in my living room later :) I will see how it goes, maybe will start printing r2d2 in the meantime :)
Even better would be to put a pi in there with webcam - motion tracking! :D
That was the first plan. My friend who I fly my drones with is working on it. In case if his own project take his full attention, I will need to go for random option as plan B. I am not a programmer :( I will see how quick I can build the figure and how much time to deadline left to experiment. I already have Pi at home, so can give it a try.
If you need any help just shout :)
It should be simple, just one servo controlled by the presence of people, but I am sure I will do something wrong and stuck :) Good to know, you are willing to help. Thank you.
I made a CatCam that took photos and uploaded them to Dropbox based on the same principle (no servos of course) :)

That would be a killer feature for my smart home security system :) I would like to be able to login and see if my living room is fine when I am on holidays. Just for peace of mind. If this could double as that, would be awsome!
