The droid replica is phone-controlled and was made with household materials and Arduino circuitry. With Angelo’s know-how on electronics and robotics, doing this project was fairly simple for him and he even posted a detailed tutorial on instructables.com where you can follow his steps on making your own working droid just like in the movie.
@petermorwood, has anyone called this to your attention yet?
Nope, but the reply they’d have got would have been “canon yes, cannon no.”
To be a “cannon” this interesting piece of millinery would need a bore diameter large enough to fire exploding shells; it’s so small that it could only fire solid bullets, making it a head-machine-gun.
I’d also recommend (1) a thick lining; (2) a much more sturdy chinstrap; (3) a very tall stock or neck-brace; (4) hearing protection; (5) a lavish supply of aspirin.
