I've never even heard of Johnny 5. Maybe the robots from MST3k?

Further to Allan's suggestion, how about a drivable or RC Millenium Falcon? We can have some basic version by the end of May for the release of "Solo" if we want a deadline?Tom

We definitely couldn't build it near the same scale of Allan's Tie Figher. Even an X-Wing in the same scale would be crazy long. But if we did a Millennium Falcon about 6' in length that would make it about 4.5' wide and less than 2' deep. That would store fairly well in the space and we could likely work on a lot if it in a vertical orientation. I'm picturing it mounted to an RC base that would be separate. We could even try to mount it to the base with pistons or linear actuators that would give it some pitch and roll capability. I don't think we need to use metal for much of it, we can stick to our wheelhouse of wood and plastic fabrication.

That'd be super cool and timely, but I would worry about 1) having build space for something on that scale and 2) the amount of metal working needed for something that should be done primarily at the Makerspace.
