Re: pic: 1726 modular robot
This is a smart design feature. Our team did something fairly similar with Moonraker in 2005, using only four screws to attach the drive train to everything above it. We actually went so far as to install a trailer hitch on the upper mechanism that connected to a separate assembly which held a battery and several switches, thus letting each part be powered and controlled separately. This proved especially useful in later years, after we had thoroughly plundered the lower electrical systems but still wanted to be able to demonstrate the manipulator.
