12-3-10 Bubby updates

Order new batter from BatterySpec.com...they have a great selection and good prices. Tryed to get a battery for Bubby from a local store called MECI.com but as usually they were clueless on if they had a battery or not and if they did have they did not know where they put them...I mean it was only listed in their catalog for goodness sakes!

Touched up the eyelids with some more paint, neeed another coat of touchups. Replaced the damaged left eye lid servo motor. Eyes are just about finished. The face is still tacky, it seems to be hold a lot of mositure from the cold. If you are painting a latax face like bubbys in winter months be sure to store your paint in a warm place and not a cold place like a garage. Latex is hard to work with sometimes.

Have to send another email to the Robotronics with a question on the hands, bcause while the servos in the arms will pull the hands closed there is nothing to push them open. Normally a hand design like this the servos would push and pull the hand closed and open, but this design does not. Or there would be a spring to pull the hand closed, and there does not appear to be a place for a spring, even if it were missing.

  1. Solved the hand opening problem on my own. There are a place to put springs on the front of the hand.
