The reason this wasn't built-in was because you can only drill so many holes in the places you want them. On top of that when you decide to do it this way, it becomes harder to route the wires below because it blocks the channels.
BUT.... the 811 is an adaptable system. You want something to fit? Drill new holes or make an adapter plate. They are pretty simple to make and are great intro CAD/machining/3D printing projects for new students.
The picture attached is just to show that you can fit two per part.
I will release CAD so that teams can 3D print/manufacture these motor controller adapter plate.
They will work by:
1. drop in the nuts for bolting to mount
2. bolt the hard ware pieces on top (this capture the previous nuts)
3. bolt to mount through holes already in the mount for some other hardware (lots of options)
easy peasy
If your team doesn't have 3D printing/manufacturing resources I am happy to help work something out.
