DFROBOT Baron car robot chassis modified top levels

<p>This exists because I am procrastinating on making progress with python, Linux and learning to better utilise my pis. &nbsp;I have driven this around my house using a pi &amp; Adafruit motor hat like a little FPV car, controlling it from my PC, and played around with servos for a pan tilt cam setup and stuff, but haven't really made anything I'd consider finished yet.<br><br>Decided to CAD a better top plate first, then added a middle tray for stowing LiPo batteries etc, and mocked up the base as well, because everything I do, I learn new things.</p><p>The stock metal plate top level has a weird hole arrangement that doesn't neatly fit a pi, so I made this one based on the hole pattern of the Pimoroni Phat stack, which has pi spaced holes for hats etc. &nbsp;I've added holes for the motor and other cables to pass through levels.<br><br>The cam and distance sensor mount sandwiches between levels, which is pretty handy, I use an Adafruit CSI/DSI extender to connect the camera for assembly and disassembly. &nbsp;This only fits with the minimal or no middle level, not with the full profile middle level.<br><br>There's two middles, one uses the full profile, so more space, but is a longer print, the other is cut down.<br><br>There's two tops, one has hexagons cut out of it, because, they are the bestagons, and I figured that might help add some rigidity to the finished plate, although when screwed down it is pretty solid regardless.<br><br>Not sure how common this chassis is, but thought I'd put it out there just in case.<br><br>Mine is tested and printed in PETG, as that's my bulk go to filament.</p>
