Here lies an inventory of all parts included in the Official CrowBox 2.0 Kit. While the Bill of Materials is our document for sourcing and pricing kit parts, this document is the user-facing portion of the instructions which lists and describes each part.
This section will eventually contain diagrams of each part.
This section lists all kit parts which are used to construct the external housing and internal framework of the CrowBox.

Forms the front 'face' of the CrowBox.
The baseplate consists of two identical parts which are laminated together to form a thicker, stronger baseplate.
Consists of three identical parts which are laminated together to form a strong, straight perch arm.
These parts serve as a structural gusset to reinforce the connection between the baseplate and front panel. Critically, these parts also support the pin upon which the perch arm pivots.
The Perch Pivot is assembled from two pieces- One for the left side and one for the right side. These are not interchangeable, as the left part contains a cutout into which an optical sensor will be installed.
