2026-01-06 (Tu) BonfireLaserTag Battery compartment installations

The battery compartments were a mixed bag of complexity. On the one hand, they only had two wires, but I also had to drill a hole in the chassis pipe for those wires. The conductors were both small, and the battery case covered the hole, so I made the hole 5mm, and did not measure its precise location, and it worked out perfectly. The most significant problem was realizing that two of the chassis pipes had the battery mounting holes on the wrong side, so I drilled new ones. The next problem was that many of the 3mm holes were not perfectly bored or aligned, so I generated a lot of dust drilling them out. The final assembly worked out pretty well, and the remaining parts are the screens, headphone plugs, and microcontrollers.
