A variety of progress

I won't be doing much droid building over the next week or two because of a cross-town move. On Sunday, my father and I advanced the project in several ways:


  • We removed the outer legs to allow for the center leg drop track and figured out where to drill holes for the power wires from the batteries and foot drives.
  • We installed the tracks for the center leg drop into the frame.
  • We trimmed the center leg and added a trial L-shaped wooden bracket that will allow for the leg to be positioned on the tracks.
  • We sanded down the excess resin on the new radar eye (that'd be the one to replace the first radar eye I messed up with a bad paint job)
  • We cemented most of the styrene center foot together.
  • We assembled the new metal foot drives, adjusted them and tested them.
