Really neat, and nice that he shows it to kids and uses it for some noble & worthwhile causes.

R2-D2 is one of the reasons I got into computers, programming, and robots. I first saw Star Wars back in 1977 when I was 7 years old, and R2-D2 was the main character as far as I was concerned!
I've always wanted a robot with all that character and ability, and not remote controlled... you know? Maybe I'll get there someday.

This video rekindles a lot of hopes/ideas, and I'm glad you all enjoyed it as much as I did. The guy did a fantastic job, and does very cool stuff with him.
