Dome power switch

Also, something shiny to go with the new battery in R2's head:

When R2's head is facing forward, that toggle switch will always be in the back. It's how I'll turn on the JEDI light system in the dome.

The switch sticks down from above the dome base plate, with a little more than 1/4" of clearance from the top ring of the frame, and it's far enough in towards the center that it won't interfere with the dome drive wheel.

I've seen folks with the switch on the outside of the dome, and just didn't want kids finding it. This way even I have to look for it a little :)
