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!
