Great work!  It's interesting to watch the evolution of the module.  I
like the idea of the fence - it's always hard to find a use for those
darn insect arm things.  The use of R2D2 legs to hold the crane in
place is very clever - I don't think I've ever seen that before.

They are as stiff if not more stiff than using friction pegs. It also saved
6-8 parts this way. I can't take credit, it was Duane's idea.

One suggestion: see if you can find a way to attach the ladder so that
it doesn't interfere with docking to another module.  Perhaps mount it
on the underside of the doorway so it can fold out of the way?

"The ingress/egress ladder that is both removable and foldable." the
whole assembly comes right off so it can connect.
