Bad Motivator and Sound chip fixed

Syracuse Silver Knights Star Wars Night

Had an awesome time with the families at Silver Knights Star Wars Night on 11/18/2016
When we brought R2 up to the main entrance, we decided to get him all squared away before the kids saw him... so, I shoved the new motherboard into the system and I think we ended up shorting both the sound chips and the sabertooth foot drive controller out.

my daughter and nephew pushing R2 through downtown Syracuse... what a trip!

Turning him on... bam... nothing - light and dome controls worked though

Here is R2 looking at us and saying... "why me?"

Some great characters made an appearance... we had our R2 on this side and Kightshade's R2 (from Rochester) on the opposite entrance.

We could see the dark knight making is way through the crowd to get the droid.

I think this storm trooper tipped him off... the kids were very excited to see R2

This little guy almost knocked out the lower vent on the front... thank goodness it was easy to fix.

Here is the dark lord of the sith and a desert trooper from the 501st visiting... Knightshade's was running into issues with his drive system as well that night.

Knightshade's wife with his droid, and me with mine... notice how clean mine is :)

Darth is trying to explain to little kids that he is friendly.... right.

my daughter with a group photo  -she is the droid wrangler for the evening

Overall - great evening.... R2 worked out well although no sound or movement.... everyone loved their picture taken with him.
