This is top part of the frame. Pretty simple!

1: Build this panel
2: Build another one too (mirror opposite)
3-5: Make this long piece.
6-7: Add that part you made in step one to connect the two panels you made in photos 1-2.
8-9: Make this tracking piece.
10: Build a second one (identical)
11: Connect the two tracking pieces to the piece that you assembled in photos 6-7.
12-13: Now add the other long piece onto the other side
14-15: Add in that path switcher as shown. The tan clip should be pointing down.
