LEGO Building, ARTOO...I started building the talking LEGO skull by stacking MANY plate pieces. While I was awaiting delivery of the LEGO Mindstorms NXT sets, I came across LEGO set 4998, Stegosaurus, with a "power Functions Light brick". The Light brick immediately reminded me of a Terminator T-800. Initially, I was trying to CRAM 2 servo motors along with the "power Functions Light brick" into a heavily plated and tiled LEGO head. Even though the head was at a nascent stage, it was getting HEAVY. I was also getting frustrated at destroying my fingernails and having to use my teeth to GNAW apart the skull's plates with each little design change. Even though I hadn't created anything with LEGO for over 20 years, between 1999 and 2003, I purchased a few random LEGO sets, but never built them. I purchased LEGO set 9748, Droid Development Kit, on clearance nearly 10 years ago, and I just recently assembled R2-D2 on June 11, 2008; it influenced the construction of this talking LEGO robot skull. I forced myself to finalize the build on the current MODULAR design utilizing many cross axles, bushings, and corrugated tubing a few days ago after DOZENS of revisions. Contents:
