In lieu of pictures from putting the inner frame on, here are pictures of it in its put-on state. This also shows the liquid balance system which can be used to dynamically balance the inner frame.
Last of all there are pictures of a hex cell platform to mount electronics to. It’s not super interesting (“funky shaped whiteboard”, somebody said) but I made it (along with Nick) therefore it has value greater than its intrinsic interestingness. It weighs maybe 15kg, and can easily hold a person.
