Sped up video of me assembling R2 in the garage prior to first test drive. This is only the second time I've assembled him, so forgive the pauses and uncertainty. The center foot seems to always be a problem for me. It uses captive square nuts and it can be a challenge for me to get the bolts lined up correctly because the nuts move out of alignment when the ankle is tipped back.
