And my Mouse Droid is done (relatively speaking)! Some future features I'd like to add would be sound, lights, maybe some decorations like a spinning satellite dish, and more. 



Attaching the Side Greeblies

This finishing touches, putting the side greeblies on the top shell.

I already had velcro measured, cut, and stuck on, so the only thing left was to carefully place them on the top shell. I found out the placing the PCBS exactly in the center meant only using a 3x2 of PCBs, not 3x3. This is fine, as I now have leftovers for another droid.

I also stuck the dowel pairs (3 dowels per set) on the outer sides of each PCB.



And the final result looks great!



The only thing left to do is test drive this....
