FACTORY XTREME

ANAHEIM GARDENWALK March 2021

Saturday March 6, 2021

4:00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.

400 Disney Way, Anaheim, California 92802

Southern California Droid Builders invaded the Anaheim Garden Walk and Factory Xtreme ! This was a bit of a last minute romp but we were able to catch a lot of innocent bystanders by surprise ! The droids romped around the garden walk outside the Factory Xtreme- dancing to the music, playing in the fog machines and mingling with guests. It was great to get out an about and have some fun with our fellow builders and droids! Visitors had a awesome time taking pictures and interacting with the droids outdoors.

For us Scum Balls, this was our 50th Troop!!!!! R2-2Ds 1st Troop after his completion last April- right when the COVID-19 pandemic started hitting. He has been gathering dust for over a year! Always interesting on a droids first outing to see what is going to go wrong :) 2D did amazingly well! A greeblie fail here and there , some loose leg bolts but he took the rough terrain like a champ!! A job well done to Krankmeister! You find find some R2-2D details on his home page.

All the droids performed awesomely. BB-8 took some brave steps out onto the rough stoneway and did fairly well with his balancing. He lost his head here and there :)
