Now, you may be wondering how to attach your masterpiece robot shell to the chassis. Below are two SolidWorks files that can serve as a starting point for connecting the shell to the chassis in a manner that is easily removable. I make no claims that this is the best design by any stretch. In fact, I hope that the 152 students can use their CAD skills from 151 to come up with a better design and share it here for the benefit of their classmates.
