The Builds

Meet the droids

Every one built by hand, by volunteers, from the ground up.

R Series Astromechs

The astromech that started it all; aluminum, brass, 3d printed, wood, and a thousand hours of love.

BB Series Astromechs

A rolling sphere of clever engineering, hiding serious mechanics inside.

MSE Droids

The pint-sized mouse droid — the perfect, crowd-pleasing first build.

Other Droids

Gonk droids, BD units, R5 astromechs, and 80+ more types our builders bring to life.
