RoboSavvy - More Brackets

Now came something that hit me by surprise. The instructions said to chop off the protruding backside Hone otherwise "robot can't have battery in the body". This is a deja-vu of when I was 10 doing the advanced book of origami when I encountered with horror that to complete the double headed flying horse, I need to use scissors. So when I saw that in the chopping instructions I decided leave it till I really see this battery insertion limitation.

"Body Frame B" is attached to 4 servos.

The servos are attached with the aid of two small brackets named "Shoulder Frame" and "Body Frame"

I lost concentration and assembled the servos in some odd way..

Then I realized my mistakes corrected them.

Here you go!

And now we can clearly see why the internal servo projection needs removing. Because the battery will not fit there in the middle just as it says in the manual. It's chopping time.

Now the battery fits.

The back side of the torso called "Body Frame F" fits onto the back side of "Body Frame B".

It is symmetrical except for a small projection of a hole where a screw will fit in later. The question is how do I screw it onto the body, with the projection in or out?

In the manual it says that the projection has to go on the "reverse side of body frame F" what ever that means, we'll wait and see. I suspect the projection can scratch the battery case so it would mean that the projection should face out rather then in.

KHR-1 has hands make of aluminum.

Easily screwed on.

Servo arms for left and right leg. very clever the way the holes are set in the bracket so that the screw is loose in the bigger holes and can attach into the smaller holes. so you cant really go wrong. I found it a bit tricky to handle the little screws with my fingers. fortunately the screw driver is magnetized and it helps to get the screws in the right place.

The left and right "Servo Arms" brackets are screwed one against the back of the other. Because of the tiny screws, it was convenient to first put the screws into their holes and then screw then into to other bracket. Even though the brackets are all the same, the holes are ingeniously laid out so that some of the holes are intended for the screws to go in loosely and others are smaller and are meant to be screwed into.
