Today I had my R2 out on the back patio for another test drive before I remove the legs again for some touch up work on the frame. Anyway, for some reason I let my friend take a turn with the controller. He then proceeded to run R2, at full speed, into a table. This busted out the front vent holder, and almost crushed my speakers...
The lesson? Don't let idiots drive...

Like Butter.... On A Roll!
With some issues around the center leg being fixed up, R2 is on wheels and rolling! Oh, and the sound system is up and running perfectly!
I had some problems with the wiring from the C6C to the Sabertooth 2x25. When I wanted to turn the little guy left, he'd go right. This bothered me for a while...
It turns out that you can easily reverse the signal on the C6C to get it to move right!
Now R2 runs great! He's a lot faster than I thought he would be. Kinda shocked me as I took out a couple plants on the back patio! I need to go over all the bolts on the frame and maybe run some caulk in the seams because R2 squeaks a lot.
I may look into replacing the C6C as the controls seemed a bit "iffy" at times. Maybe it's just the refurbished GameStop PS2 controller. I'll look into picking up a better one before moving away from the C6C.
Now the humidity needs to drop (and the temperature) so I can get some painting done. I can't wait to paint my dome!
