| Drilling mounting holes for a small circuit board. |
 |
| Circuit board installed on the Z-axis stage. |
 |
| Trying to upload the firmware before mounting the motherboard in the robot. But there were problems. |
 |
| The motherboard was connected and had lights flashing, but Replicator G said that there was no connection. |
 |
| We decided to install the motherboard anyway. We will sort out the firmware issue later. |
 |
| Motor controllers |
 |
| The kit seemed to have a few too few 1/4" spacers, so we made some from small round scraps of laser-cut acrylic. |
 |
| A bit of head scratching. The wiring shown in the online instructions was unclear. |
 |
| Hand gesture indicating frustration. |
 |
| Wrapping it up for the evening. |
