Awesome R2-D2 Houses Eight Game Consoles And Projector

For the love of the holy underpants of Yoda! This R2-D2 is the most amazing astromech mod yet. Created by Popular Science reader Brian De Vitis, it holds eight consoles, a sound system and a projector!

Brian first took an R2-D2 shaped cooler and modified it to make it look more realistic. He then gutted the consoles to rearrange the controllers inside so all the ports could face in the right direction. That still left enough space inside to place a projector and a sound system. Quite a feat.

I can see Dreamcast, Playstation, SNES, and Nintendo Ultra64 gamepads, but what are the rest? [The Force]

    It’s a little hard to make out the pads. The two pads below the two SNES ones look like they could be NES pads, and then below them a Mega Drive (Genesis) pad with another to the left of it? GameCube and/or Xbox pads in the far left column?

    I see Gamecube and Playstaion pads…are those Atari/intellivision paddles on the right?

  • Yeah, they looked like Atari pads on the right to me, too…

    There’s definitely some NES Nintendo Entertainment System) and Sega Genesis/Mega Drive pads below the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) pads in the third column.

    The first column (far left) also appears to be Microsoft XBOX pads…
