These are the
major parts that were assembled during the Version 0 Prototype. Clockwise from the top: Left Leg top center (non Structural). Left & Right Leg lower box (non Structural).[missing end cap] 3D printed strut (see Struts below for more detail) Left & Right Commom Leg Frame (Structural). All the pieces are shown without the .040 skins. |
