Droid Depot

tried this after getting my new custom A-LT series utility droid, but in the droid builder it didn’t have any options for that. also the naming system is pretty bad, you cant have nicknames for your droids (that i know of) and your locked to bb, r1,r2,etc. i also have some suggestions. 1. a group mode where you can connect multiple droids and have them dance or play tic tac toe or anything else together/individually. during the group mode, talking between the droids in the group are % boosted. 2. a follow mode where the droid follows your device. good for driving them around without having to constantly moving him forewards. 3. MORE TRACKS FOR THE DANCE MODE! AND MORE MOVEMENTS TOO! dance/manuever mode is really fun but it could use some more stuff. 4. and last, more 2 player games you can play with your droids. thanks for making such a fun app, devs! please try and implement my stuff if you can!

There are a few other droids and droid apps out there that have features that I don’t imagine would be all that difficult to include in Depot droids: Autonomy: I have the old Target BB-8 droid. You can set it to just roam around your house or patrol. I also have the D-0 droid which can chase a ball and can interact with proximity. A couple of these features may need proximity sensors on droids, but the BB-8 droid also allows you to program in a series of moves. Interactivity: my daughter has L0-LA59. It doesn’t fly or walk, but it talks and moves on its own. It can be put to sleep and it reacts to touch. All of these features in a Depot droid, which already exist in this droid would be a significant improvement. They’d be fairly simple to integrate into R-unit heads. Communication: remember Furbies? They could talk to each other and interact with users voices. If you could figure out how to make BB-8 role with a magnetic head, it shouldn’t be all that difficult to build sensors to pick up noises, especially from other droids. This feature, plus proximity sensors, and some basic autonomy (like a Roomba) would be worth flying all the way to a Disney to make all new droids.

I have created 2 droids for myself and 1 for my grandma at Galaxy’s Edge so I was excited when I saw this app advertised in an email today. It took a second to get things going ( for all those complaining it won’t connect to your droids, I had to turn off the physical controller and only have the droids on to obtain connection). The fact that you can have your droid dance to DJ-R3X is AMAZING. DJ-R3X’s soundtrack is one of my favorite go-to albums and I’m excited that I can share the beats with my astromech friends! I was able to connect both of my droids separately and create their profiles and it’s great to see their profiles are remembered when switching connections back and forth. I really do hope the developers continue to update this app with more content as I would love to see my droids become even more alive than they are now. My only qualm is that I cannot have both droids connected at once to have a little dance party, but I do understand the limitations of a brand new app. Please keep more droid content coming and Happy May the 4th!! - Sincerely ‘a Droid Sympathizer’
