Celebration VI was announced yesterday. The big "Star Wars" convention will take place in Orlando again, from Aug. 23 to 25, 2012.
That gives people more than a year to plan. I don't know for certain whether I'll be able to go, given vacation scheduling, budgeting and whatnot, but I've booked a tentative room and hope everything will work out.
The timing also gives me a year to finish my droid, or at least to reach a point that passes for finished in this group. That means feet, a finished dome, greeblies and all the outer features that give this creature of wood, styrene, metal and glue the appearance of being R2-D2. I don't know of any builder who thinks of such a droid as being completely done. There always will be internal foot motors and lights and servos and radio control units to add, and now 3-2-3 mechanisms, periscope lifters and perhaps even XBee modules.
