Looks like it should be possible to fit a Raspberry Pi and/or an Arduino in to R2D2. Now as to how to program them, I am not sure as this stage. I am hoping they can be interfaced to the logic board that comes with r2d2. Started building R2D2 with the right leg. Some parts are only pushed together for now.  Namaste - R.I.P.

Added some more parts to the back of the right leg. Getting to have a fairly decent weight in it.  Namaste - R.I.P.

Added a bit more to the frame for the body. Looked at the official build to see how the two sections joined up. Using the spare countersunk screw to hold the parts together.   Namaste - R.I.P.
