A panel for [[Assembled In::Autopilot Behavior Box]], used on the sides and top. The panel has slots on the bottom that fit into [[Used With::Behavior Panel Bottom]] and uses a pair of magnets with [[Used With::Autopilot Hex Panel Pegs]] to snap the top into place. A [[Used With::Autopilot Panel Handle]] is typically used to carry and manipulate the panel.
==Fabrication Notes==
This is intended to be laser cut out of 3/32"-thick [[Uses Material::Cast Acrylic]]. The piece has no trouble with standard laser cutter settings, but the size of the mounting holes (corners) will have to be adjusted depending on which/if magnets you use.

== Variants ==

=== Slotted ===

This slotted version is intended to go with the slotted version of the [[Used With::Behavior Panel Bottom]], rather than using pegs, the panels slot directly together. This proved to lead to lots of animal waste leaking through the slots, so we abandoned it, but leave it here for posterity/in case it's useful
