BACK PLATE



There seem to be as many ways of mounting the backplate as there are robots. My mounting method is a modified version of Mike Joyce's. Two bolts suspended from the upper rim of the torso (attached to the torso using the Reinbrecht method) hold the backplate from above. A bracket that I fashioned out of plumbers tape (my favourite robot building product) support the weight of the backplate and keep it snugly in position.
