LINK TO WEARABLE TUTORIAL
The Robots and Droids category is an online-gallery only. The lifesize artwork is not a commercially available product. The
website should be viewed and enjoyed as artwork made by fans for fandom enjoyment. Robotics in the real-world is advancing
by leaps & bounds and a look back in time at these creations, in my opinion, is fun and nostalgic. Have a look around and
ENJOY!!
PROTOCOL DROID WEARABLE VERSION
With the right skill-set, determination and straight-out guts, it's entirely possible to
turn a set of raw castings and shells into a wearable costume. Andy H. in the U.K. was
the first to do so with my work. He went all-out and installed pressure sensors that
activate servo sound-fx in addition to light-up eyes. After he had the parts
professionally metallized, he installed a mic. into the head that's connected to the
controller board, so he looks, walks, and talks just like the character!!
I believe our collaboration (started in 2004) was the first fan-made of its kind done
with this level of professional quality.
Andy uses his suit for promotional events, and charity work with the U.K. 501st.
GREAT JOB Andy!!
