The Michael Graves R2 droid unit

Michael Graves, the architect/designer who puts the fun in functional was tapped to redesign the R2 Droid units.
"The R2 droids were anything but functional," said Michael, "He couldn't traverse stairs, he needs flat surfaces and there aren't a lot of those out here." Michael solved the problem by adding one of his trademark "eggs" to the top of the R2 unit. "Now when he gets stuck you just pick him up."
