The standard R2 series droid will consist of the following details. Paint scheme will be determined by the model.
'''3.''' '''Logic Displays|Front Logic Display''' A color matrix display of light for the glowing effect.
 
'''4.''' '''Front PSI (Process State Indicator)''' The front PSI, for most droids, is a two-color fading light panel. The hole for the front PSI is smaller than the rear, and the cover is usually a milky white colored plastic. A standard R2 unit will use blue and red LEDs for this PSI.
 
'''5.''' '''Holoprojectors (HPs)''' There are three of these on a standard R2 Unit, one in the front, one in the back, and one in one of the top pie panels (see below). The original screen used HPs were reading lights from Vickers Viscount airplanes, used in Great Britain beginning in the early 1950s.
 
'''6.''' '''Pie Panels''' These are pie shaped pieces often cut from the dome. These can open to reveal extensions from the dome such as periscopes or lifeform scanners.
 
'''7.''' '''Dome Panels''' These parts of the dome, including the pie panels, may be painted, etched or cut from the dome, and may open by means of servos and hinges.
 
'''8.''' '''P5 Picture Panel''' P5 refers to the name of the panel in the [http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/r2builders/ R2 Builders Group] blueprints. The panel has an open round-cornered center with shows the aluminum dome underneath. In a scene in the movie Return of the Jedi, the panel glows red.
 
'''9.''' '''Rear PSI (Process State Indicator)''' The rear PSI, like the front, is a two-color fading light panel. The hole for this PSI is larger than the front. The standard colors for an R2 astromech is green and yellow.
 
'''10.''' '''Dome Bumps''' These are two small raised domes on the back of the dome, just above and to the right of the rear PSI on a standard R2 unit. 
 
'''11.''' '''Rear Logic Display (RLD)''' Like the front logics, these are three color fading lights.  The colors are generally green, yellow and red in color.
 
'''12.''' '''Dome Ring''' The dome ring is the lowest ring between the dome and body and is typically metallic in appearance.
 
=Body=
 
'''1.''' '''Large Data Port''' (LDP) There is only one LDP, in the front of the droid, at the base of the dome.
 
'''2.''' '''Utility Arms''' Arms located in the upper middle of the body.
 
'''3.''' '''Front Vents'''  The vent internals are different between the top and bottom and include a "housing" known as vent surrounds.  There are two vents on a standard R2-Unit.
 
'''4.''' '''Side Vents''' These blue and metal parts are in the body, under the legs. There are two on a standard R2-Unit, one under each leg.
 
'''5.''' '''Coin Slots''' These are usually made in a 'strip' of rectangular pieces that are slotted on the face. There is one strip on the standard R2-Unit.
 
'''6.''' '''Pocket Vents''' These are similar in appearance to the side vents, except for a recessed metal pocketed at the bottom of the part. There are two per standard R2-Unit, toward the bottom of the body.
 
'''7.''' '''Coin Returns''' Named because they resemble a coin return on a vending machine. There are three on a standard R2-Unit, with the front being larger than two on the back, toward the bottom of the main body.
 
'''8.''' '''Power Couplings''' These are round ports that appear flush with the skin. There are two per standard R2-Unit, one in the front center of the body at the bottom, and one in the back center at the bottom.
 
'''9.''' '''Octagonal Ports''' These are octagonal shaped parts that appear flush with the skin, like the power couplings. There are two per standard R2-Unit, mounted toward the bottom of the body.
 
'''10.''' '''Skirt''' The skirt is located on the base of the body.
 
 
=Legs / Feet=
 
'''1.''' '''Shoulder Horseshoes''' These are called horseshoes because they resemble an upside down horseshoe.
 
'''2.''' '''Shoulder Hub''' These are aluminum (or aluminum colored) parts mounted in the round hole created by the shoulder horseshoes.
 
'''3.''' '''Booster Covers''' Large structures on the side of the leg that (in the movies) split apart to extend Artoo's rocket boosters.
 
'''4.''' '''Leg Struts''' Cylindrical lathed pipes that insert into, and run the length of, the booster cover. At the top they appear connected to a box on an angle.

'''11.''' '''Ankle Cylinder Wedges''' Triangular shaped wedges which connect the ankle cylinders to the ankle sides.
 
'''12.''' '''Ankle Cylinders''' Metal-colored cylindrical shaped pipes that mount to the ankle.
 
'''13.''' '''Ankle Cylinder Holders''' Crescent-shaped parts which attach to the lower portion of the ankle and cradle the ankle cylinder.
 
'''14.''' '''Under Shoulder Details''' Small structures consisting of a knurled cylindrical shape with smaller pipes attached at a 90 degree angle. Metallic in color, they attach into the recessed area on the undersides of the main leg.
 
'''15.''' '''Main Footshell''' Trapezoidal shaped foot covering.

Additional Dome Notes:


Work pending Pie Panels: R2 units have six pie panels on the top of the dome. One of the pie panels must have a Holoprojectors (HPs) installed on it in the proper location. Template:R2DomePanels
Work pending Radar Eye should sit approximately 2.647" (vertical height) from the base of the outer dome. This is the most iconic and distinctive piece of the dome and provides the face of the droid.
Work pending Radar Eye Lens should fit cleanly and flush within the opening for the Radar Eye which has a diameter of 3 inches. The lens should not be clear.
Work pending Front Logic Display: Two of these are vertically stacked on the dome. These combine multiple components such as electronics, surrounds, and bezels. There should be at least 45 individual leds in a 5x9 array. The standard LED color used is WHITE and BLUE. Additionally, a Front Logic Display surround must be present. Not required but recommended is the use of logic bezels to provide better spacing of the LEDs.
Work pending Rear Logic Display (RLD):
Work pending Front PSI (Process State Indicator):
Work pending Rear PSI (Process State Indicator):
Work pending Dome Bumps There are two on the standard R2-unit on the back of the dome, just above and to the right of the rear PSI.:
Work pending Magic Panel:
Work pending Dome Ring:
