RoboNova Brackets!

When I was deciding which humanoid to buy I wanted something very modifiable. The Bioloid Kit was just that but I didn't like that it didn't come with a remote and you couldn't use standard servos with it.

So I was thinking and an idea came up - what if I had universal brackets for the RoboNova servos? Then I could modify my RoboNova without the hassle of making new parts every single time I needed special brackets. So I decided to make universal brackets by 3d printing and they are very precise & cheap compared to metal fabrication services. Saves me tons of money and time and why not, I could even sell them!

And here they are - I only have a few parts made in 3d but more are coming.
