Event: R/C test of full build up.

I'm not sure if this actually counts as an "appearance", but it was a pretty significant milestone. This was R2's first PUBLIC roll out and testing.

I had wired up the drive system, and had worked out what I considered to be the major kinks in the build up. I thought it best to take him for a spin around the driveway. Along the way, a couple of passers-by were duly impressed. So yeah, I guess it is an appearance.
