- Construction continues and design flaws are addressed (original Cable pipe could not be stuck to the pan part and so have had to rivet a milled out piece of aluminium) Rivots have been used for connecting a frame.
- Found that servo's pivot range is more than adequate and so no further alterations are needed.
- Will not dip coat but will spray the head at the end.
- Had difficulties lining up the gear and the motor for the pan mechanism.
- Found a much more reliable method of connecting the servos onto the pan and tilt parts.
- Box was built to house electronics and form the base of the head.
- Swivel plate seems to be rotating well.
- Had difficulties fixing the gear to the pipe but after milling the gear to the correct diameter it slipped on easy. Etched teeth into the pipe to hold the gear.
- All holes cut.
- Will next have to wire in extension cables for servos and mount the rest of the electronics.
January until April 2009
