stupid question time.. you don't have to cut that superlong pipe any, do you? I assume it gets attached to the neck, and then that runs all the way to the bottom and that's how Servo's head is controlled?
Today's agenda, get the hands attached and screwed on to the barrel. Tomorrow we'll worry about the metal swivel piece, and pipe hole. Taking this one step at a time .
I cut the pipe down to 9 inches, and then connect a 1/2 PVC connector to the bottom of that. Slide that pipe through the bottom of the bowl and slide it into the hole at the top of the barrel. The connector helps act as a bumper for the bowl. Then connect a 3 and a 3/4" inch PVC pipe to that and you have Servo's control rod!
To paint Servo's head, go ahead and attach the head to a spare PVC pipe and paint it disassembled. Here's a video on how to paint your bots:
