Created by Rob Meyer, this adorable 1/18th scale remote control R2-D2 could very well be the smallest astromech droid currently roaming the galaxy. He stands just 6 centimeters tall but is able to drive around and even turn his dome thanks to a set of 3 Solarbotics pager motors, and Rob intends to eventually outfit mini R2 with working LEDs as well.
