Assemble test cart #48

This is still what needs to be done to finish up the hardware portion of the test cart

  1. Choose screws to hold on the motor mounts, then drill holes in the PVC base and motor mounts and tap the aluminum motor mounts. The mounts go on the bottom of the PVC baseplate to simulate our finalized robot.
  2. Get our hands on an axle and some wheels for the back. The key to the room of requirement is no longer in the usual place, so maybe someone should ask Glenn nicely. These wheels need to be small enough that they don't interfere with the spinning legs
  3. Once we get some wheels, machine a block to attach the PVC baseplate to the axle. Again drill holes in both the baseplate and the axle block, then tap into the axle block. We should probably use some plastic scrap for this part.
