2L-BX : Tool Box Droid

CURRENT PHASE : RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

2L-BX will be an original droid based off of a DD-3 concept droid designed by Andrey Maximov for the 2016 ILM Art Challenge. I plan on making him a fully functioning tool box with deployable power tools and a full assortment of precision drivers and hex keys. He will drive using a Holonomic Drive. Still in the early R&D phase (my favorite phase). He will be complete by LA Comic Con 2026 at the latest.
