James Bruton continues his prototype of the BB-8 droid from Star Wars. It’s a fascinating build full of 3D printing, programming, and smarts.
Star Wars BB-8 Droid v1 #2 | Ball Balancing Robot | James Bruton
Part 2 of my BB8 droid from Star Wars EP7. I started this project before foootage of the real BB-8 was released. Once this is done I’ll be doing a version 2….
This is really great stuff. Again, I hope he puts the schematics and CAD files online so we can print and make our own.
