Todays build session was set aside for the electrical but unfortunatley
Adam was unavailable this week and a last minute change of plan was
needed.
I had noticed that the rear of the Robot was a little untidy and this was
clearly evident in the first video or the Robot moving around, so todays
plan was to tidy up the rear and discover if the cavity there would house
the switch gear for the jaws.
On inspection there was quite a lot of room in the gap and also there's a
convenient channel in the metal structure to run the wiring loom into.

The Rear of the Robot is probably the strongest part of the Bot-designed to
take the flip of a full pessure heavyweight flipper and also be resistant to
spinners-there may be shock issues with putting the electrics in there but
there is also plenty of room for foam padding.

I then welded the top of the rear of the Robot with some 3mm steel and
the lower (access) door was bolted on
