FYI he’s posted up a short YouTube video

Michael Baddeley posted a Drinks n Droids recording about the design.





Tim Hebel is working on the drive system for it (not doing an independent design like James Bruton is), and has posted several more videos about that in this playlist.

They have some discussion of some of the issues with James's original design (e.g. fitting it into the body properly). Based on that, and the general availability of the prints so far, I might have to change my mind on which direction I go.

There are also some updates from Michael Perl regarding the human-cyborg relations vocalizer hardware.

I wish I could remember the info/schedule for the zoom meets. It's been about two years.

It doesn't appear to be an artifact of the injection molding process, but I haven't seen many good photos or video of that area that confirm whether it's actually present on the droid or not (could be an invented detail).  Some of the videos seem to indicate it isn't there, but it could just be blending in very well.  I'll have to go back and look through the episodes to see if there's any footage showing it.

Turns out, this is a real detail, and flips over to reveal a holoprojector. Also, it's confirmed that Bee's head can rotate a full 360 degrees.
