Assembly

Now it’s time to assemble the project.

1 - Assemble the milled parts

First I detached and sanded my parts, and after that I try to quickly assemble them to make sure all the parts fits correctly together.

As the assembly was correct, I screwed the parts together :

2 - Assemble the rest of the parts :

2.1 - The magnet

To maintain the front door, I decided to use some magnet that I screw on the box.

2.3 - The foam

The foam will maintain the robots inside the box. For the bottom of the box, I use rigid foam that I will cut to the robots dimensions when they will be finshed. The foam has been pasted with double-sided tape.
