Prints for the bench.

Most beginner robots were too far ahead of us, so we went looking for parts our builds can sit on.

We started by looking for simple open-source robots to print. Almost all of them assume a microcontroller and code, and our builds are still about what electricity is. So we looked for prints that help the builds we already have.

What we found: a frame for winding a coil, a battery holder with paperclip contacts, a stand that keeps a motor still, a tray for a lemon battery. They are on each build page as optional equipment. None are required.

We haven't printed any of them yet. As we do, we'll mark each one printed, or say so if it didn't work. We couldn't find a conductivity tester, so that will be the first part we design ourselves.
