Leg Plastic

With everyone in the group getting their droids up on legs, I decided I better get moving with mine too. Because I intend to do 2-3-2 for my R2 rather than a static 3 leg, I need to plan for how the legs are going to move. The outer legs have to rotate and the center leg needs to move up and down without excessive friction. I decided to use the self lubricating HDPE from Midwest Plastics Inc. in varying sizes to allow the legs to move freely. For $32.10 I was able to get one 3/4"x11"x27" piece and three 1/8"x12"x18" pieces of HDPE.
