I have a Sphero RVR and am wondering if the main body, dome, swivel arm can be adapted to that chassis. It’s already a tracked vehicle. I have the stl file for the RVR baseplate. I think I just need to download the needed stl files from this build and cobble them together in tinkercad.

It’s the bb-r2 post later on.

Awsome, i am looking for the Micro R2D2 any have idea where it is?

Rob Libby

Great little guy. What did you do about the tracks? Printed flexible material? If so what kind

Thank you for the top-update. Now my Flysky reciever has a perfect home.

Would it be possible to add some parts to this to make it a non-powered model? ie...no servos, batteries or rc. just a rolling, swivel dome little guy?

Jonathan Plasted

you might find this funny but the last RC controller I bought was when I was 9, it was the kind powered by colour identifiable "Crystals" I once went to a few model shops last year trying to find spares ! only had 1 set left... a few shops gave them to me for free when they found them too, apparently they didn't think there was much of a market for them lol..

id love to have the fusion files might add a tail or cat ears to the dome! gunna make mine Black and purple I think with special purple tracks!

Wow that would be great. Thanks a lot Michael.

Michael Baddeley

They can be, I’ll add him.

Are the fusion files available for this little guy? :-)

Basically some kind of remote control transmitter and receiver, that has at least 3 channels. The channels equate roughly to the number of servos you can control. So a three channel transmitter and receiver can control 3 servos.

It's already working then, my girls are very excited.

As someone who's never done anything RC, I actually am clueless when it comes to buying necessary bits here. What is meant by "3 RC channels and upwards, a receiver"?

Michael Baddeley

Exactly why I did it, small, quick and ideal for involving the kids on the hobby.

Peter Richards

Thanks so much for this, so great to have a weekend project for the kids. The bigger builds are great, but falls into "Dad's stuff" generally at our house. This one I can have the kids involved from start to finish over a few weekends.
