robothut Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Here are some extra bits I have put together for all the kit builders. 2 screw drivers, the philips head mates with the small #2 metal screws perfectly and has a long enough shaft to put on the feet. The supper glue to secure the arm linkage slip clutch to the shoulder, small containers with grease in them for the pin drive lub and 3 sheets of sand paper, 200 grit, 320 grit and 400 grit to clean up the resin parts for painting. The long flat blade screw driver is handy for applying the grease to the pin walk linkage. Yes thank the dollar store for the extras. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil R Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Great work as usual, John. But it's kind of unfair that you have 27 hour days out there on the west coast as well as a time machine! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dratomic Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I'm just amazed, John! The amount of work you've put into this is astonishing -- if there's a way to nominate people for Robot Saint, you've earned my vote!Thanks so much for turning this project into a reality.
