Step 4Attach legs to star-shaped servo motor horns
I cut a 12" and 8" section of thick copper wire with tinsnips to make the front and back legs, respectively. Then I bent them at an angle to attach to the servo horns.
A classic BEAM trick when you need to attach things is to tie them with hookup wire wire. In this case, I stripped some hookup wire, ran it through the horns and around the legs, and twisted it up a lot. Some people solder the wire solid at this point. Mine's still holding tight without. Feel free to trim off the excess and bend the twisted parts down.
