Meet KT-46, the newest R2-KT AmbassaDroid that debuted this weekend at Capital Sci-Fi Con in Edinburgh, expanding the global network of R2-KT droids to forty-six. Built by droid builder Doug Inman, this latest KT build was a project that Doug embarked upon in 2023, completing the build over the new year and now unveiling her today at this weekends show.
KT-46 Stats
Birth Date: 2/21/2026
First appearance: Capital Sci Fi Con on the 21st February 2026
Drive System: R2-KT Scotland will be running on a Padawan 360 system, with 24v E100 motors running on a Sabertooth 32, dome motor running on a 24 volt motor controlled by a Syren 10, all managed by an Arduino ADK
Body: The construction of R2-KT Scotland is 80% 3D printed, with other plastics, fibreglass, and metal involved in the physical structure of the droid to help with longevity. She will be fixed in a 3 legged mode. Although we may change to be made to manually fold into 2 legged mode. Doors and arms will be sealed shut and the operating system will be straight forward.
Lighting: The logic lights in the head have been supplied by AstroPixels in the UK. An extremely cost effective design, with customisable colours. KT’s logics over all will be standard ‘R2’ except for the 2 smaller displays on the front that will be twinkling pink and white
Sound: The sound system will be running off a Sparkfun system connected to a Fosi BT20a amplifier, allowing decent output of sound with additional Bluetooth capability if required. All triggered with preprogrammed sound effects.
Missions: R2-KT in Scotland has been supported by the 3 biggest Star Wars communities in Scotland
– The Rebel Legion, The Imperial Scottish Garrison & Droidbuilders UK. With support of communities like this, we were able to bring KT to life and I have absolutely no doubt that through the highlands of Scotland, KT will bring joy, happiness and hope to whomever she touches.
Fantha Tracks are on the ground at the show, so stay tuned for more content from the Capital Sci-Fi 2026.
