On my own foot-like appendages

Well, the new plate for the center ankle arrived yesterday, so I was able to bolt the center leg on. It took a little trial-and-error as the ankle was rather too long, but after a couple of trips to the maker space I managed to get it just right.

Test mounting. It works, but the ankle is still a little too long.

Ah, much better. The plate is mounted with spacers and bolted to the frame. That oughta hold 'er.

Anyway, the upshot is that I can finally dispense with the box support, and let R2 support himself, thus:

Right on.

Also, it looks like my foot shells will be coming in the mail tomorrow, so I get to start working on mounting those up and making them all gussied up properly and all that jazz. Also gotta get some craft foam to put on the center ankle plate to boost up the batteries so they'll be secure in their holes. Get that done, make sure the motor drives scoot around properly, and all that's left is the skirt and skin. Cruisin' along like nobody's business.
