The R2 Builders Club, also known as the R2-D2 Builders Club, is an international online community focused on building full-scale replicas of the Star Wars astromech droid R2-D2. It's a collaborative effort where members share knowledge, resources, and skills to construct their own droids.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
- Focus: The primary goal is to build accurate, life-sized R2-D2 droids.
- Community: It's a loose, international group with members sharing information and skills through online forums and local groups.
- Resources: The club provides resources like templates, blueprints, and advice for builders, including information on electronics, 3D printing, and more.
- Local Groups: Members can connect with local R2 Builders groups, like the Houston Area Droid Builders (HADB, for in-person collaboration and support.
- Beyond R2-D2: While R2-D2 is the primary focus, members also build other droids from the Star Wars universe.
- Not for Profit: The club emphasizes the collaborative and hobbyist nature of the builds, with no sales of kits or completed droids.
