Purchased 2 lipo batteries for this and printed a case to hold them under the main plate.

Also ordered 2 more aluminum sheets cut to size. With standoffs. That way i can put all electronics on the current base then another sheet above that to mount camera/sensors etc. Extra plate just in case i want 3 levels. Already super heav,y so not sure.

Cleaned out the garage and made storage shelfs. That is where the project is living right now. Life got busy last two years. and i've done almost nothing during pandemic :( Time to get back to this project.

See my other project, working on smaller robot. I wanted to build a large controller for this one. So my small robot gets a small controller to see how that goes first.

Then i can spend a lot for my tank controller. need a pi, big joysticks, touch screen.  Going to have to cram into the largest box print size my printer can handle. 220x220mm ...going to be a tight fit. Maybe build 3 parts and glue together or snap fit together?

Oh yah i also printed a case for the motor controller. With 2 small fans for cooling. You can see in back left of image.

Need larger standoffs. motor controller case is a little bigger then 1" and wont fit under the plate. So i need 1.25" ones if i can find them.
