Build main support using the 1X2 wood. I measured the width at the bottom
of the tub and subtracted about 1 to 2 inches. That measurement became section 1.
Sections 2 are the height from the floor to the top of the droid. You can make that
any length you want, but make sure you have enough dryer hose to accomidate. Mine
was about 3 feet or so. Section 3 is a brace the holds the legs together at an
equal distance. This should be about 12"-15" down from the top.

Drill 2 holes in the underside of the body behind the legs and another 2 holes in the back of the "feet". Measure enought metal shielded wire to reach from
one hole to another and add a few inches for slack. Cut wire and insert into holes from body to feet. Glue-gun them into place. Touch up with grey primer
