 ===== Baseplate sub-assembly =====
-The **Baseplate** is the platform upon which the entire Crowbox is built. In this step we'll be adding some reinforcement to the baseplate to make it stronger at the points where the Crowbox will be screwed to a pole or platform.

+===== Coin Slide sub-assembly =====
+The **Coin Slide** is an acrylic ramp that catches coins from the **funnel** and transmits them to the inside of the CrowBox for storage. The **coin slide** features a network of thin copper wires which also electronically detect the metal coin as it slides into the CrowBox for storage.
+==== Gather Parts & Supplies ====
+  * Coin slide x1
+  * Coin slide side rails x2
+  * 24 gauge bare copper wires. 7x12 inch lengths
+  * 3M self-adhesive noise dampening mat
+  * Plastic cement
+==== Build it! ====
+  - Peel all protective paper from all acrylic parts
+  - Cement side rails to coin slide
+  - Attach and trim sound dampening material
+  - Weave the wires
 ===== Rail sub-assemblies =====
-Here we'll assemble the rails upon which the **basket lid** will slide. These rails also contribute to the overall structural strength of the Crowbox machine.
