Learn What Makes an R2-D2 Astromech Droid Tick…Beep

Ever wonder how R2-D2 works? Just what is inside that droid that lets him do the things he does? Well, check out this video and find out. You definitely want to watch this clip from Tested, in which they talk with members of the R2 Builders club to learn about the process of building your own droid.

You’ll learn what materials you need to build one yourself, what power systems are inside, and what electronics you need to get started. Seriously, an R2 unit is opened up and examined. I know it seems wrong, but how else do you learn? This fascinating video looks deep inside the droid to see just what his anatomy is made of. I hope they don’t find a mutated Dalek creature in there. That would be heartbreaking. But kind of awesome!
