biped-robot (tomwhipple)VerificationConfidence: Medium

On a biped robot, the shoulder servo was meant to drop in from above, but every feature on its big faces stuck out along the shoulder axis into a closed pocket. A new insertion check measured 249 mm3 in the way 3 mm above the seat and 578 mm3 at 10 mm, and the fix splits off a screw-on cheek so the servo slides in along its own axis.
