Project Gizmo Underway!

Thought I'd post some pics of Gizmo. Thanks to a great friend that has been helping me Project Gizmo is under way! I'm going to document the build for any one that may be interested. The infamous "kitty Igloo" is now becoming Gizmo! As shown in the pics the motors are mounted along with the casters. The four threaded rods are going to support the decks. There will be aluminum spacers between each deck. Parts are on the way. I'm still in the design stage of my robotic arm. I may have to settle for mechanical aids to help replace my left hand. It is so frustrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been looking at parts from servo City that look promising for the arm. However budget problems may not allow. Lloyd

Do you have a drawing of how this all fits together , its really cool. Am I guessing right that the trash can openning will have the head in it with camera?

I have to say Lloyd, your work looks really professional. Did you do machine work in the past?
