So many questions lol.
Thanks for the heads up on the LEDs Savage.
I basically used a green led as I hadn't seen the backside view.
Now it's apparent that it's red. So I'll change that at some point.
With regards to the plans...
I had already got to the stage of finalising my plans, I don't have any fancy 3D programs, so I was literally drawing them in Illustrator, lasering card prototypes, eyeballing it with reference images, then making adjustments to my drawings.
When I saw the flat pack designs from savage, I downloaded them, and over lapped each part on top of mine, to my astonishment, we where at exactly the stage (+\- a few MM) with design and measurements.
However, I hadn't got to the finalising stage of the top details as my reference material wasn't accurate enough (I made a rough start, but nothing concrete)
So I have used savages top detail file, though, I have also altered them too as they appear to be ever so slightly incorrect)
The 4 sections of the droid are not glued together yet, as I need to figure out how to open the droid for maintenance (when the motors are installed) so, as you have noticed the Y Isn't in the correct place, but it's not glued, so it will face the blue led when it is finished.
