If you have any questions or want CAD, feel free to ask.
We'd love the CAD! Just email us at robotics@cwnchs.org
Also- I think those LED would give me a even bigger headache after I'm done driving the bot hahah

Also- we just use plexiglass with a rev extrusion rod frame, giving us a cool look and a stable place for a computer.
