Announcing the Jabba’s Sail Barge Drink Tray System.
Be the first in your quadrant to serve up drinks with style! The Hutt Clan Droid Drink Tray attachment will turn your scrap droids into a convenient and practical serving tray for you and your guests. And, if your droid is mobile, it makes a great way to bring the beverages straight to your guests — Classy!! You will be the envy of your local crime syndicate.
The Jabba’s Sail Barge Drink Tray Kit will include:
- 7 Aluminum Serving Tray Plates (upper section)
- 7 Aluminum Serving Tray Plates (lower section)
- 2 Aluminum Shoulder Risers (outer section)
- 2 Aluminum Shoulder Risers (inner section)
- 12 Aluminum Tray Spacers
- 2 Silicon Rubber Shoulder Gaskets
- 1 Tremendous Sense of Pride and Dignity (you know you want it)
Some Cool Features:
Die Cast Aluminum Construction (Strong and Lightweight… like Yoda)
Stainless Steel Hardware (It binds the Galaxy Drink Tray together)
Silicone Rubber Gaskets to Protect your Droid’s Shoulders from Scratches
Future-Proof Design to allow for Additional Installation of Interactive Electronics and Accessories
Designed for Compatibility of a Future Drink Dispenser and Desilijic Cup Set
Each of the tray sections are made from sturdy cast aluminum.
Tray sets will look great right out-of-the box, however the parts can be sanded, painted and weathered if desired (why not make yours better than the other guy’s). The tray sections and shoulder risers bolt together for a solid construction, but the tray to riser connection has been equipped with a push-button release for quick and easy disassembly allowing for easy storage and transport. We call this the Smuggler’s Special.
Each of the tray sections are designed to allow for the installation of low-profile magnets to securely mount drinking cups and other accessories.
The shoulder risers are lined with silicone rubber to keep the drink tray from scratching your droid’s beautiful paint job
Utility Arm Mech
Utility Arm (open/close) Mechanization
The goal is to provide a reliable and rugged system to open and close the Utility Arms while keeping the mechanics, linkages, etc., as concealed as possible. This design allows for easy tensioning of the belt & pulley system to prevent the belts from slipping and to account for variations in each droid as well as readjusting for any stretching or settling of the frame or UA carriage assembly over time. This design will have the following features: Full Travel: The system allows for full travel of the Utility Arms. The system that I am offering has a 1:1 ratio from the Servo to Utility Arms. This will allow the Arms to open a full 90 degrees with a standard servo / receiver. The servo can be driven via a microcontroller or servo stretcher to increase the overall range if desired. Concealed Hardware: The mechanization hardware is concealed nicely behind the skins and allows for a back plate to be installed behind the UA pocket. Adjustable Tension: The mechanization hardware allows the UA belts to be adjusted to the desired tension level by tightening the adjustment screws. Ball Bearings: All moving contact points have ball bearings installed to reduce friction and reduce wear on the aluminum frame / rails
. 
This system will work with ANY Utility Arm — But the Utility Arms must be secured to the hinge/pivot shaft My last Utility Arm run included a #6 tapped hole for a set screw to secure the Utility Arms to the pivot shafts. Other Utility Arms will need to be drilled and taped. I actually did this with my original Utility Arm set, and it is pretty easy — I just used a hand drill and tap (no drill press required). 
This design has been tested on Com8 (Budget and A) and JAG v5 Aluminum Frames I am checking to verify if this will work on the Com8-C 232 frames. I have already built and tested a prototype so I am expecting this to move quickly. I am also offering a rolled back plate to cover the UA opening. This will have all of the cut-outs for the belts and wiring for Master UA’s that have wires going into the UA housing. 
The kit will include the following: 2 – Aluminum Frame Mounting Brackets 2 – Aluminum Adjustable Servo/ Bearing Mounting Blocks 4 – 1/4″ Drive Bearings 4 – 1/4″ Drive Pulleys 2 – 1/4″ Drive Shafts 4 – Timing Drive Belts 2 – 1/4″ UA Pivot Shafts 4 – 1/4″ UA Pulleys 4 – 1/4″ UA Bearings 4 – 1/4″ UA Bearing Shims 12 – #4 x 3/4” Mounting Screws 6 – #8 x 1 ¾” Tension Adjustment Bolts 2 – 1/4″ Shaft to Servo Couplers (Hitec C-spur size) ** Builders will need to install standard size (Hitec) servos of their choice. I recommend the HS-645MG or better. The price is $220 shipped in U.S. and $235 for International Shipping. The price for the back plate is $40 or $45 for anodized (black).
