Builders Panel At OSFest 2009

Our builders' club hosted a panel on R2 Building at 11 AM to let the public know how we build, what materials we use, and what we do with our R2s when they're done (well they are never really done...we're always tweaking).

Builders Booth At OSFest 2009

OSFest 2009 was pretty fun. We had a crowded booth. Twelve Droids!

R2-NU hanging out with his brothers and sisters.

We had a reporter stop by and ask the group some questions and take some pictures. Just as he was finishing up, some kids came over to dance with R2-CM.

A builder's birthday is July 17, so she was surprised with an ice cream cake and we all sang happy birthday to her in front of everyone.

R2 Meeting The Public At OSFest

Our local builders club, The Rebel Legion, and The 501st Central Garrison stop for a break in the lobby for a picture.

Clay's R2-C2 goes out into the crowd to meet people.

Not to be outdone, R2-CM does a round of Meet and Greet.

R2-C2 and R2-CM meet for a combined appearance.

My First Con

OSFest is my first convention. Lynelle, Moose, and I made sure we were at the convention early so we had enough time to organize and assemble our R2s.

Wow! We brought a lot of stuff. We were in the back corner of the dealers' room next to the 501st and Rob Carmichael of the Rebel Legion.

The AC was broke on Friday, so the flow of people through the area was pretty light; but that didn't stop the kids from getting excited about R2.
