It’s Star Wars cannon that those “mouse droids” were actually little cars the emperors pet sith mice would drive around in. Their tiny light sabers were so cute.

One of the goals I set for myself when I started engineering school (as an old guy) was to build my own droid. The mouse will fit the bill nicely for the first one....then an ASTRO mech....and then it'll be on to the robot army to take over the world! (Or just mow the yard or get me a beer)

Love this Brian! You and your dad together are hilarious!! And watching him build stuff is amazing! Makes my head spin.

Almost had the chance to enter a droid contest. Had a spy wither droid design. Called it F10WER. Droid would have looked like a plant to spy. If it seemed it was about to be caught it would dissolve to not be captured. As a toy, i would incorporate a basic fan and lamp, to have more purpose.
