Task: continue with Lego Robot Assembly

Well, I've assembled as much of the Lego robot as i can, but there's a snag:
---the battery pack doesn't fit on, & i don't know why {grrr!!}..
..it just won't.  I suspect that:
--(1) the programming panel is the wrong sort;
--(2) there's a panel on the bottom of the above which is stuck;
--(3) the battery pack is the wrong sort;
--(4) i'm making some unknown c**k-up in the assembly!


Given the fact that the previous user left bits assembled, 
& the parts all over the shop (which meant i had to do
an inventory before i even got started on assembly!),
& there seem to be 1 or 2 spare little bits (small part redundancy?),
maybe it's just an unsorted mess!!


I'm miles behind, & getting anxious :-(


I just need to get this sorted!


Tomorrow, in class maybe..


..meanwhile there are other things to do:
"Mr General" for one.  Due to my notorious inability to mentally 
attune myself to calendars (having spent a good part of my working life 
with irregular hours, irregular holidays, irregular jobs), i decided to 
stay home sick (snuffly) for what turned out to be the last day of the term.
Missed Ashley-the-Tech..
Came in on Monday - workmen, darkness, welding & painting..
..done it again!  I just don't get with holidays, as in i-never-know-until-it's-too-late!
(not the first time either).  So..


..no "Mr General" until tomorrow!


{si-i-i-igghhh}..  :-(  :-(

Problems, problems..
