Unfortunately, R2 was designed without legs, as a desktop robotic unit but a set of new legs were designed, developed and built to complete R2.

R2 was meant to receive these new legs this weekend but the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon, it's cargo craft payload, has been postponed until 30th March 2014.

So, R2 is going to have to wait until then for his new legs.
