Here we have Boxxy, my SHR. I had originally intended to give it a nice plexi-glass chassis; however, I chose instead to use an old cellphone box. There's something beautiful about being able to crank out a custom chassis in a matter of minutes only using scissors and a stapler :). At first, I had used the set of gear motors which came with the kit, but later swapped them for a set of modded servos I had lying around.
