I was hoping to have primed the body today, but there just wasn't enough time. To wrap up, I made a panel cover that will cover all of the electronics for the droid but it will allow me access if I should need it. I didn't take pictures of this, but I was able to lay out the placement of the electronics that will go inside the panel.
I made the panel cover from poster board and a scrap piece of metal. The metal was simply glued to the board.
I used screws to secure the panel cover to the bin.
Next, I marked where I will strap the charges to the interior shelf and drilled the holes large enough for zip ties.
Early on in the build, as i was cutting out the bottom of the lower bin, I broke the corner. So tape has been holding it together this whole time. To fix it, I am using a scrap piece of metal as a patch to hold the corner together. I am also using a gob of glue to keep the plastic from splitting any further.
Lastly, I glued on the last pieces of foam symbols. I will leave these over night, and if everything works out I will be able to prime the body this week.
One set of foam symbols, is being used to cover the large gaps around the beige panel door.
