I think Jake von Slatt and I-Wei have a contest going to see who can post the most and coolest steampunky tech projects. We just blogged about I-Wei’s amazing Steam Beetle a few weeks back, and now, he has a new creation, each one always seeming to outdo the last. The R2S2 (R2 Steam 2) is a steam-powered droid built using the Cheddar steam boiler I-Wei uses in most of his creations, and Wilesco D48 marine engines. The R2 body is a Hasbro R2D2 Interactive Droid he snagged for cheap on eBay. I love the boiler pressure needle guage on the face plate. Check out the video. It’s hysterical. He has a little “ad” for his other Crabu creations at the end. 
I just found out that I-Wei is going to be at the Maker Faire next month showing off his steam vehicles. I’ll finally get a cnance to meet him. I’m going to be there running Mousey the Junkbot workshops. Any other Street Techies going?
