I finished my R2 today and all works great.

Got him working on both wifi and direct with no issues and all systems are a go.

Only one small issue I need to sort and that to raise the font leg wheel a bit as it keeps catching the front of the foot in the carpet, but that's no big deal as I'll just add some washers to rise it.

But all in all I've enjoyed building this little fella.

I have done this with the supplied extra washers, just undo the 4 screws for the center foot, then undo the caster wheel nut & remove caster wheel ass'y. add 2 washers to the caster wheel and put back in - the caster wheel is no longer retained by the bigger housing hex, so when you add the washer, spring washer & nut on the other side do make sure you tighten fully & it's not just spinning the ball bearings

Have fun, enjoy!
