overall very good news, got the last box, got all the cables hooked up.
he works!

need to adjust the center foot to give some carpet clearance.

light saber: seems like it does not go up very far, not sure if the gears slipped or what do we have any photos of how the saber should look when in the upright position ?

right now he just barely raises the flap, i have to open it and use my finger tips to get it out of the hole.

i think it should be at least an inch up ??

It should go higher, try lubricating the runner with some silicon spray and congrats on finishing your R2 .

the two things i think they should have done different overall

the square / rectangle led sets should (IMHO) default to on not off.
when i started i thought i had a bad connection.
then i saw that i had to use the app.
then i had to see to scroll the menu in the app to find the led toggles.

center foot, make the wheel have a bit more clearance to allow for carpets, i can adjust it with a few washers or a nut , possibly the instructions could have warned that this might be an issue ? the bottom edge of the front center foot is just getting contact with the carpet, add 4 or 5 millimeters and problem solved.

the rest i think has been good other than the lag in getting the last pack!
