                                                                                   FIGURE 4.21
                                                                                   Cut, bent, and drilled
                                                                                   aluminum for the
                                                                                   Frogbotic’s body.













                        The next step is to fabricate six mounting brackets that will be used
                        to attach the robot legs to the body and to fasten two leg sensor limit
                        switches. Use Figure 4.22 as a cutting and drilling guide to fabricate
                        pieces A, B, C, D, E, and F out of 1/16-inch thick aluminum. Pieces
                        A and B measure 1-3/4 inches in length, pieces C and D are 1-1/2
                        inches in length, and pieces E and F are 2-1/4 inches in length. Drill
                        the holes with a 5/32-inch drill bit where indicated in Figure 4.22.
                        The finished pieces are shown in Figure 4.23.
