The Big Droid Put-Together - The Movie

Just for fun, I did a time-lapse of the final assembly of droid #2.



Pictures were taken once per minute. There are a total of 941 pictures, or 15 hours and 41 minutes worth of assembly.

Unlike droid #1, which I built from the ground up as I went, with droid #2 I only fit together adjoining parts to see if they would work together. I held off final assembly until the very end. This was partly to make accessing individual parts easier as the build went along, and because I didn't want to have a partial droid sitting around staring me in the face all the time.

I'm still not quite 100% done with this droid. I need to install the back door and rear power coupler, and glue down the backing strips for the ankle brackets. At that point, I'll consider it done. Soon, soon...
