A short square robot drive-base. It’s approximately 12 by 12 inches. It’s stuffed to the gills with electronics and wires.
Four motors sitting on a table. The motors are wide and flat, like those you would find on a large drone. Each motor is 50 millimeters in diameter and 10 millimeters tall. Each motor has a small, bright yellow connector attached to its wires.
Screenshot from a CAD program showing a small robot approximately the shape of a square. There is a wheel in each corner connected to a motor, and various electronics (drivers, raspberry pi, etc...) mounted within the chassis.
Same model as original post, but this time on the bed of my printer
Screenshot of a sliced 3D model in OrcaSlicer. Model is a rectangular bracket sitting on its short edge with lots of complicated inner geometry. The supports generated by OrcaSlicer are also shown. They look like trees growing up from the build plate with many branches that reach up to the overhangs of the model.
Screenshot of a CAD document showing a small (288x288mm) robotic drive-base with mecanum wheels and some blocky shapes representing placeholders for electronics.
