If you can't get enough of DIY R2-D2 building, here's another from Italy-- ... taller (1.5 mt) but walks (with 2 or 3 legs) and beeps like the original, and flees from people holding light sabres! Oh, and comes with bluetooth and usb...The robot actually is the resulting prototype of a research project in creating a kind of slave or companion robot with a friendly interface. Link.
