Bop It R2D2 Original Prototype
KID Group Career Portfolio
This prototype was internally presented at Hasbro to much excitement. The Design Director of Gaming said that it was the execution and quality of the prototype experience that immediately "sold it in."
Rapid prototyping method? 3D CAD and 3D printed? Nope, not enough time for that!
We used found objects for the majority of the build, and used existing sounds instead:
BODY:
--R2's head is a stock plastic dome
--His body: an empty cosmetics jar
--body art: blue electrical tape cut by hand
--speakers: taken from a keychain sized Bop It toy
SOUNDS:
--with no time to record or create custom sounds, we used actual sound clips from the original movie, with selected C3-PO spoken lines that turned out to be appropriate for Bop It's signature sarcasm when you miss, check out the video below!
