Animusoft UGV Mark 2

Animusoft Development UGV Mark 2 Designed to hold a Raspberry Pi B+, Arduino, Lipo 3s, 4 motors, Sabertooth ECS, Buck Converter, Power Switch, External USB Port(s), External HDMI Port, External Ethernet Port, XY Lidar, and a RPI Camera NoIR We have printed 5 of these so far with the final STL files and worked great using a MakerBot 5th Gen with True Red PLA and True Black PLA (wheels). We added braces - which you should modify to only print the required braces for your print out. Keep in mind these are used to join the front and rear to main base. We use 8 per vehicle. 4 in the front, 4 in the rear. Only last part to this would be to refine the RPI NoIR camera mount, adjust the lidar mount to include ready made holes for the lidar and find a way to fasten the lid down correctly. Right now we use gravity to keep it in place given that the UGV is not designed to move fast nor multi-terrain. On that note - would like to add we are thinking of modifying the base to allow for a "clip in" feature for each board (i.e. Arduino, Sabertooth) instead of using screws to mount it physically to the base. This allows us to easily swap out components whenever we choose and need not worry about mounting holes for each board or screws/nuts coming out underneath. Work in progress - feel free to mod update change add whatever you like! Can't wait to see what everyone has done with this model! UPDATE Created two additional lids. After building out the kit we realized there was not enough clearance for the lidar. The lidar still works as expected however we wanted to get a true reading from the lidar without the wheels in the way of the reading. These two versions are being tested / printed as we speak so will keep everyone posted.
