Our local news played the story last night and I wondered if that was you.

Yup saw that on the news...when I heard R2D2 I thought to myself "didn't LePaul or someone make that?".

Awesome thing you are doing man.

This is the proof I was looking for.  All these people I hang out with on AH with are not just a bunch of internet geeks... 

They are compassionate too.

It is an honor to have you in the community LePaul.  Great work on both the bot, and helping those kids.

You guys are most kind, thank you!

I'm still getting emails from people saying where they heard about it.

Feel free to join Paul's R2-D2 page on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Pauls-R2-D2/433737735192)
Its great to re-connect with my Aces High friends again.

Ghost...you'd be amazed how quick R2-D2 brings out the inner geek in people!  I've had many a guy or gal burst out with some sort of Star Wars line.

And yes, there is a second R2 in the works.  Since R2 doesn't generate any income, the shoe-string budget does what it can.  I'm currently working on actuating the 'cpu arm' which R2 uses to plug into computer interfaces in the movies.  Making one R2 do what 8 movie props...and a LOT of CGI effects did is quite an engineering challenge.

Hope to be back into the game come winter time.  I've been following all the updates and it sounds like the game just continues to improve.

LePaul, Do you think Lucas might be interested in getting into the humanitarian aspect of this? Maybe pitch the idea?

Outstanding LePaul.
