Step 1Side blueprint
This is the size dimensions for the chassis base, the robot is 150mm deep so from the derawing you should be able to redraw the size exactlly, as it is only constructed with arcs and lines, no splines to worry about.
Draw a top view rectangle on a piece of cardboard it should be 200 by 150 mm in size.
Cut out two card templates the right size for the full scale model (200X50) for the side view and glue or tape the sides to the base on the long sides, lining the centers up on all three.
This gives you a basic layout for you to look at mounting motors and a battery supply.
Remember that smaller is better, and that the motors should line up with either the center of the sides , or if you use offset shaft motors, slightly lower to improve clearance.
More to come later as we add the adaptor ring to the top and then the head.
