The White Mouse Droid was first seen in The Force Awakens. The movie droid was built by Oliver Steeples, go Oliver!
AKA
This droid seems to have quite a few names
- H015 (not totally clear to me if it's supposed to have hyphens)
- Sentry Droid
- Imperial Droid (shorthand by crew I gather)
- New mouse droid
- White Mouse droid
I've never heard Oliver call it by the Wookipedia name of Sentry Droid (First Order)
Sounds
We never heard any sounds in the movie - maybe next time?
References
There are several threads in this section on the forum http://www.rebeldroids.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?fid=31 There are some photos in the Gallery http://rebeldroids.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=47 He has plans in the Files section! http://rebeldroids.net/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=63
Parts Reference
The Sentry has flat sides, I'm not sure of the original material.
- Antennae - there are 3 antennae on the top
- Head
- Black neck ring - this contains LEDs on some sides. The blue one is "front" on the movie droid for operator reference.
- Body
- Skirt
- Faux wheels - each corner has a small black 88.9mm diameter ball pretending to be wheels. In practice they sit a few mm above the floor.
- Lego greebles! - Yes, Lego! The bottom black details were created from Lego, then molded and cast in lightweight resin. Each of the 4 sides is theoretically identical, though I notice the seems in the corners don't fit perfectly on the movie model.
- Holonomic drive - the movie droid has 4 omniwheels arranged so that it can rotate in place and move in any direction. Allows interesting movement and makes it fun to drive.
The original is not terribly heavy but awkward enough to be a two person lift when we saw it being carried off the stage.
Construction
There are flat pack files in the gallery! No complete builds yet, but they should be straightforward to laser/cnc/hand cut from styrene.
