Taken on July 9, 1996 this image shows the final assembly, after testing of the three main processing boards of Little Ricci. Top left is the splitter circuit, which took the Electromagnetic charge from the 9 volt battery and converted it to Neutronics. Then with the help of the board below it (the clock) that signal was pulsed through the input receptors and fed to the board at the right, the actual 'brain' of the unit where long-term memory running at 28 samples per second was compared to 1 sample of input. Conversion and stepping down to the 10 samples per second output for motion was accomplished in the infamous and tricky return conversion board which had its own slot in the top cavity.
