Description:
This is a replica of the Variable Geometry Self-Propelled Battle Droid, Mark I (aka 'Vulture Droid') from the Star Wars Episode I (The Phantom Menace) collection. If you like this, also check out my other Lego creations.
Features/Instructions:
- Simple Dual-Mode operation (fly or walk). Just press AG1 for surface hover flight, AG2 for walk, or neither for classic flight
- Use Slider 1 to adjust walk heading in walk mode, or hover height in surface mode
- Throttle controls relative walk speed
Disclaimers:
- I have used tinker panel mainly to improve physics (disabling drag and collisions on all of the exterior studs) and get the CoM just right without messing with the Lego structure.
- To make this a functional craft I had to include fuel reservoirs and gyroscope using size and mass scaling.

It walks, fun, and your signature hover touch. This is pretty cool, and looks like dual mode works nicely.

That’s the color of the original lego set. I will make the blue one too eventually, but I wanted to see if the code for dual-mode worked. -
