How are you going to do that without your space helmet, Dave?

Improvise, of course.

Keeping the outsides out of the insides proved to be a little tough, and as usual it's perhaps a little over-engineered. On top of being flexible, tough, shielded and waterproof, the robot's shell also needs maintenance access, so after thinking to seal the joints into bags, I looked at a way to zip them.

Standard polythene zippy-bags are hard to find in large sizes, the bigger ones were PVC and not very strong so I only used the zips. These were glued to thick white PVC (like you'd find on a hospital bed) using rubber solution, and metallised with foil tape. It is possible to buy large antistatic bags with zips, and some of the equipment even came supplied in them, they just werent big enough.

The cabling system is designed to sneak in via a seam with no trouble and works really nicely.

Space Boots, with airtight zips. These will keep out water, chemicals, noxious gases, radiation and significant positive pressure and still allow easy access to the innards without tools.

Oven Ready Panda. Light meat or Dark meat? ;-)

The fat-suit needs to have the sensor array stitched to it before it can be closed and filled with polystyrene beads, and the fur covering to go over that is still just pinned, but the skeleton is now 90% complete.

The skull need plating and an access hatch before I can fit that too.

Here's an irony.
A cheap knockoff of a rare and expensive iconic Chinese product. ;-)
