Mechanical - finalizing the shell - TWO issues #39

Weight Reduction - we will need to try and knock off 100 grams of shell/sponge while maintaining integrity. The top half of the pyramid is heavier because of the GPS shelf and the square waist extension, we can cut out of the large faces some material and replace it with tape and light insulation we will have to do it all around to make it count. Cutaway rectangular slots in the FOAM BOX [horizontally] such that it is still stiff and supports the stack well. [More holes in the plastic fixture mount I made?]

Temperature Control - Not so critical for the LAWN DEMO but will be soon after. We must start thinking about:
