A little throw-together bot intended to be a mobile video chat platform.

The grey-tinted perspex arrived surprisingly quickly, so I got it cut today.

Also shown, a pot of Bovril. Because winter is coming and everyone needs to be reminded that a steaming mug of liquid beef is only a shopping trip away.

Something to do better next time; stagger the speaker grill cuts. Some have warped due to latent heat from neighbouring cuts through the thin spans of remaining material. Giving them cooling time would have prevented this. At least it's minor and if I feel the need I could maybe correct it with careful use of a heat-gun.

I'll see how it looks in place tomorrow. Hopefully the stickyback vinyl will arrive soon and I can make the mask to hide the screws and silver frame of the LCD. Then some double-sided tape should hold it all together.
