Once you get through fixing stuff, you'll be able to make stuff with the stuff you fixed.
I'm still amazed at each of your posts on this endeavor. You have a will to get it done, and figure it out. I tap out generally after I determine zip ties won't fix it, and while I may not understand a ton of the technical specifics, I can appreciate the ingenuity, work and will you put into this. Pretty cool stuff.
I expect with your ability to manufacture something out of pieces, along with you mechanical skills on cars, that an autobot should be busting out of your garage any day now. Call @Haven when you let it loose as I expect he would want to see it.
Oh, and once you get this whipped, you should take up 3D printing as another hobby.
All hail Lord Megatron!
