Foxys Body - Design 1

Below is how I see the parts going together.  The body is constructed of transparent blue Perspex (Plexiglas) made from a single length bent upon itself several times to achieve a body shape. This will have 4 threaded rod dowels to space the gaps correctly and hold in the various components.  Have noticed I forgot the HDD / Flash Disk this time but have time to modify and it will fit anywhere.

Before construction hope to get some feedback on design flaws I may have missed and will improve it where possible.

Below are a few pictures of a sample of Perspex that was bent using nothing but a heatgun, no measuring or marking was done and the 3 bends took less than 15 minutes.  Then holes were drilled again without ant measuring, once down it just so happened that some of the bits laying around fitted in nicly and may even make a small robot out of the piece.  The thicker and wider Perspex will be bent using a few blocks of wood to get the correct gaps between levels and more care will be taken with pre aligning of components.

	Side on view of bent Perspex test.  Have installed dual motor gearbox and Cybug robot insect board for test.  Have post drilled all the holes in this version.
Close up shows that mainboards and other boards will be easy to mount using standard motherboard mounts.  Drilling the holes while plastic has not cooled right down helps get the thread cut in easy.

Have used 1/4" steel rod and flat washers and standard size nuts to make the robot rigid.  These posts will also work as a good earth for all the different boards on final robot.
