CREATED BY: Carter B.

CATEGORY: Padawan Learner

DESCRIPTION:
"This R2 unit helps us use the force to lift rocks. 

The Droid uses a proximity sensor to activate a DC motor that is attached to a spool.  The spool is built from Legos and attached with the brick adapter. 

As a long time Rey fan, Carter is now able to feel how amazing it is to use the force. It is empowering to recreate the rock lifting scene from"The Last Jedi". 

Thanks to Star Wars, Lucas Films, Little Bits for giving us the ideas and equipment to feel like a Jedi."
