Sorry if this is the wrong area…
In media, Droids seem very helpful. My idea is…if Adam Savage (and other makers) had a real workshop R2unit what would it do?
I’m thinking of a R2 where the different panels are drawers , it has a power strip, flex light, solder station, maybe a mini disc sander, maybe a Dremel station. Maybe the Droid is hexagon or octagon shape instead of round…for the drawers, and maybe a flat top head as a work area.
Would have to have a pad sized screen with A.I. (Siri?)
Either your normal RC wheels, or just caster wheels, depends if you want it to move itself.
I’ve seen many wonderful R2 units that are beyond impressive….but I haven’t seen one that REALLY does anything. I’m interested in something that is a useful tool platform.
Would it be worth it? Would it just slow you down and get in the way? Or would it be a great way to have what you need near you?
Adam Savage, we all know who he is, his old toolbox…on wheels and scissor extenders, built into a R2 like robot(?)/ object(?) with tools and work area.
It’s just a rolling (RC?) toolbox/ work area with a.i. chat and a iPad.
I’ll try and do a proper drawing, with drawers and tools, but this is the general idea.
WHAT would you add? HOW? WHERE?
Either it’s a great idea or it’s a dumb idea, but if it’s dumb wouldn’t that mean droids are not worth it?
Thank you for any responses. Any good ideas I’ll try and work into a proper drawing…I can art…not that the picture below shows that.
What would you want in a realistic workshop droid?
