Designing a Robot Chassis

• Assemble the parts in Google SketchUp.
• See if all the parts fit together.

• Print the outline of the parts for the chassis.
• Use the option that keeps the size of the printout to the actual size.
• Check the measurements after printing to be double-sure.

• Paste the printout on the material you want to cut the chassis from.
• I used 2mm acrylic sheet.
• Take care when pasting the printout that there are no creases in it.

Use a rotary tool or a hacksaw to cut out your shapes.

• Use super glue to stick the parts together.
• I made the parts like jigsaw pieces so they meshed together to give more strength.
• Screw in the other parts like motors, caster wheels, etc.
