Alternate Ping Bracket
I needed another rotating Ping bracket for some experimentation and Bob =refused= to give his up... something about needing to explore the apartment further. :blank:

MATT, I GOT ANOTHER IDEA FOR YA!
It is kinda tall, but I put it together mostly for static use on my desk. For things like the ping 'radar', etc... If I use it on another 'bot, I'd cut an opening like the ones on the side of the Boe Bot and bolt the servo from underneath, reducing the exposure. 'Sides... if it breaks, I got plenty more of the red stuff!
I like the magnetic coupling idea! What did I do with all those adhesive magnetic strips???
