DESIGN
Fail: Took lots of time to redrill mounting holes to move electronics to make the 2023 robot into a test drive base.
Fix: Design custom mounting brackets for all electronics that use a standard ½ inch hole pattern with 10-32 bolts. The 2024 bellypan will have a 1⁄2 inch hole pattern across it so electronics mount easily. Added embedded lock nuts to the 3d prints so electronics mounting only requires a single allen wrench.
