A few more layers of white and black paint and glossy coating are applied to the body and the legs. Now the motors and wheels are mounted to the legs and these are mounted to the body.
In the next step the neck assembly (with the head-servo and the lazy susan bearing) is fixed in the body.
Now it’s time to finish the head. The basic shape was already show in the post from October 5. Now I’m adding a wooden plate (on the inside – to mount this on the neck) and some further details. With a few layers of black and white paint, and three layers of gloss it looks like this.
Now the head is connected to the body and we get the first glimpse of the whole robot.
I love my R3-B9!
