    Innovation Stage Sunday 4:00 PM - 4:50 PM

    R2D2!! The Ultimate Maker Project: Build, hack, mod, and kludge the most important droid in the universe. Find out how the Bay Area R2 Builders Club built their own full-sized, fully functional R2D2s. See R2 in person. Get all your questions answered on the materials, plans, building techniques, electronics hacking, and radio control systems needed to build him and do your part to help defeat the Empire.

Location:   Fiesta Hall  303   

We're members of the R2 Builders Club. A loosely organized international group of Star Wars fans who love to build droids. We've been featured in MAKE Magazine and we run droid building workshops. We'll be roaming around the event throughout the weekend with frequent stops back at our Rebel Base to charge our batteries and answer questions.
