the tabs. Cover the panels with aluminum tape and fasten
them to the tabs with 1/8-inch sheet metal screws.
Now that all the openings on Questor’s body are covered,
it is time to mount the robot’s serving tray, lower body lights,
and controls previously wired to the robot.

MOUNTING TRAY

The next item to be mounted to Questor is his serving tray. If
you haven’t already, reattach Questor’s arm and reinstall his
drink dispenser system. The tray itself is a 17 1/2- 12 3/4-
inch snack tray like that pictured in Fig. 6-8. Place the tray
across the arms and mark on the tray where the corners sit on
the arms. Drill four 1/4-inch-diameter holes in the tray and sit
it back on the arms. Align the tray so it sits straight and mark
the holes in the tray on the arms. Drill four 1/4-inch-diameter
holes in the arms and screw the tray in place with four 1/4-
inch-diameter metal screws. Also at this time you’ll be attach-
ing Questor’s hands that you made previously.
