I suppose the motor may have failed / seized up, or perhaps a connection failed? The only way to know for sure would be to take the R2 apart and test all the connections and components. I don't own one of these R2's so I don't know if they are simply screwed together (and hence can easily and safely be dismantled), or whether they are glued or sonic welded in whole or part (in which case dismantling it becomes a lot more difficult, obviously).
