Parts Have Finished Being Fabricated

Pictured is a few of the pieces I had fabricated, everything else that was fabricated are just duplicates of the pieces already pictured. Top left is the drum pieces, top right are the side plates that mount the majority of the electronics, bottom left is the top plate, bottom right is the bottom plate.
I received the pieces back from TruFab on Tuesday. The parts came out beautifully all within the necessary tolerances for the other parts to press fit together with only some minor grinding. Currently doing a rough fitting of all the pieces and plan on rewiring once I see how much space I have to work with inside the bot.

When testing the weapon motor mount inside the bot, the component suffered failure in one of the mounting sockets, currently working on a redesign of the weapon motor mount and considering switching to this pre-made mount from Hobby King. However, this would require a redesign of some of the internal structures.
