I have finished my R2D2 and when I press the power button it lights up but doesn't do anything. Sometimes it jerks forward and lights up and makes a tick tick noise and doesn't move or make a sound. Any solutions from anyone? Cursing

All the connections are labelled correctly and plugged in correctly. I think its the R2 D2's motors thats faulty or the Micro Controller Unit.

Get a replacement MCU unit from issue 94 from C/S and replace your old unit.
