Noma ngubani owazi okuthile ngamarobhothi noma onothando ngamarobhothi uzobe ezwile nge-R2D2 eyinganekwane, irobhothi elidumile le-Star Wars. Kusukela yavela efilimini eyinsumansumane yama-80s kuze kube namuhla, kube nokufana okuningi kwaleli robhothi: kusuka kumathoyizi kuya ezingutsheni zokugqoka ngamacala ekhompyutha nokukhiqizwa kwamakhadibhodi. Zonke izinhlobo zamakhophi, kepha ngabe kukhona okuyiqiniso?
UBriton James Bruton useqalile iphrojekthi yokwakha eyi-R2D2 yangempela ngohlaka lweplastiki oluprintwe kuphrinta yakho ye-3D. Njengoba uJames Bruton ekhombisa, le phrojekthi inemiphumela emihle ngoba ngokusobala izinto zihamba kahle kakhulu kuze kube manje.
UJames Bruton uyazifela ngamarobhothi futhi hardware libre. Njengamanje unakekela iwebhusayithi ye-Xrobots kanye nesiteshi se-YouTube. Iphinde ibe nokusekelwa yinkampani iPatreon, egcina le phrojekthi yerobhothi.
Ngaphezu kwe-R2D2, uJames wakhe iDalek
Lapho iphrojekthi isiphelile, uJames Bruton uzolayisha iphrojekthi ku- ikhosombe eGithub ngakho-ke noma ngubani angazakhela eyakhe i-R2D2. Akukaqedwa okwamanje ngakho kule ndawo yokugcina ngeke sikwazi ukuthola wonke amafayela adingekayo ku-R2D2 yethu kodwa kancane kancane azobe ewalayisha.
UJames Bruton ungumthandi omkhulu wamarobhothi futhi Hardware Libre. Okwamanje isakaza uhlelo lwe-Xrobots ku Youtube lapho ungabona khona inqwaba yamaphrojekthi ahlobene namarobhothi. Uma uvakashela indawo yokugcina izinto, uzobe uqaphele ukuthi ngaphezu kwe-R2D2, uJames Bruton usungule noma wakhiqiza kabusha i-Dalek robot, elinye lamarobhothi asezinganekwaneni ashiye isikrini esincane.
Le phrojekthi ithakazelisa kakhulu, ngoba ngakolunye uhlangothi abantu bafunda ukwakha irobhothi kanti ngakolunye uhlangothi babona amaphupho abo wobuntwana enelisekile, ngoba ongakaze aphuphe ngokuba ne-R2D2 yakhe esebenza njengakwi-movie ye-Star Wars?
