Hello!  Well besides 3D Printing I have another hobby...R2D2.  You know this guy

That is my screen accurate fully functional (well rado controled) R2 unit.  I built him from scratch.  Oh yeah and that is Space Shuttle Discovery behind him. He is about 20% 3D printed. He goes to a lot of events for kids.  Like Air and Scare at the Smithsonian's Udvar Hazy Center.  Here is the line of kids to meet R2 at the last Air and Scare.

So what do I need help with?  Well kids are tough on R2.  Really tough. Lets face it.  Some parents suck.  So when little Jonny is kicking and twisting every little knob they can find on R2 he gets broken.  So I entered a contest to win a new DaVinci!  I have always wanted one!  I already have a 3D printer but it is getting old, and I could use more capacity. I can win by having people vote for my project here.

You need a Facebook account.  You can also vote every 24 hours.  I need to retake the lead and hold it until Friday night.  I would really appreciate any votes. 
Thanks Folks!!
