The base plate designs

The following diagram shows the robot's base plate. This plate provides provisions for two motors for the differential drive and each caster wheel on the front and back of the base plate. Motors are mentioned as M1 and M2 in the diagram and caster wheels are represented as C1 and C2. It also holds four poles to connect to the next plates. Poles are represented as P1-1, P1-2, P1-3, and P1-4. The screws are indicated as S and we will use the same screws here. There is a hole at the center to bring the wires from the motor to the top of the plate. The plate is cut on the left-hand side and the right-hand side so that the wheels can be attached to the motor. The distance from the center to the caster wheels is mentioned as 12.5 cm and the distance from the center to motors is mentioned as 5.5 cm. The center of poles is at 9 cm in length and 9 cm in height from the center. The holes of all the plates follow the same dimensions:

We will discuss the motor dimensions and clamp dimensions in more detail later.
