It's alive!!!!!!!!

FINALLY I get to post one of these videos where r2 is doing something!!!!!!

I got his head turning with a vex motor. YEs it IS noisy..I just hope with the back panel on it will muffle the sound a BIT. Maybe I can wrap foam around it to dampen the sound a bit too...

SWEET!!!! Not that I know much about any of this, but hopefully you can muffle the motors noise somehow. I wouldnt know how, but I'm sure you can figure it out with that imagination you got!!!! LOL....Looks great to me man!!!

AWESOME DUDE!!!!
It's nice to see something moving.
I know the 1st time I had my dome moving, I almost killed the battery turning the head. :O)
Those Vex motors are strong, I just wish there was a way to quite them down. Maybe someone will figure out this problem. I thought about packing the gears with grease. It might help.
Show a pic of how you mounted your motor.
