7" Circular Base, with Wheel Cutouts
7" Circular Base, with Wheel Cutouts

Save time building your next robot with this universal 7" diameter circular base, with cutouts for wheels.

The base is drilled and cut using precision CNC (computer numerically controlled) equipment. We use sturdy but lightweight 6mm thick (about 1/4") rigid expanded PVC plastic -- the base can support several pounds, yet it weighs just a few ounces.

A variety of pre-drilled holes are provided for mounting motors*, battery holders, sensors, microcontrollers, standoffs for additional "decks", and other components, and you can readily drill additional holes as needed.

(*Holes are drilled on each side to accommodate our exclusive flange-style servo bracket. Use these brackets to instantly mount R/C servos to your robot base!)

Available in black or marine (dark) blue. The cutouts will accommodate wheels up to about 2 3/4" in diameter, or larger if the motor shaft is away from the surface of the base.

Buy two of these bases to assemble a "double decker" multi-level robot. Or, combine, with our 7" diameter round base as the second level. Both of these bases are drilled to match holes for standoffs.

Round Base, Rigid PVC
Round Base, Rigid PVC

Here's a CNC-machined round base. made from 6mm (about 1/4") thick expanded rigid PVC. This stuff is very lightweight, yet is amazingly strong. It generates little static electricity (as opposed to acrylic, which generates static copiously), and can be readily cut and drilled.

You can stack several of these discs to create multiple "decks" for your robot. Unlike metal or most other plastics, these PVC discs add little weight of their own. You can stack 4, 5, and even more discs to create a multiple topping 'bot! (Though we recommend no more than three decks, to minimize the chance of the robot tipping over.)

The bases are available in several diameters, to suit most any tabletop robot design: 10 centimeters (a shade less than 4", ideal for mini-sumo), 5", 6", 7", and 8", with pre-drilled mounting holes. The center hole is 3/8" diameter; there are 12 equally-spaced 1/8" diameter holes 1/2" from the outside rim of the disc (1/4" for the 10 cm and 5" discs). You can, of course, drill additional holes as needed.

Available in black or marine (dark) blue.

Flange-Style Servo Brackets (pair)
Flange-Style Servo Brackets (pair)

These brackets fit just about any standard-size servo, such as the Hitec HS-311, GWS S03, Futaba S3003, Balsa Products BP148, Cirrus CS-71, and many others.

These brackets can be mounted most anywhere on the base of your robot. The brackets can also serve double-duty as "risers" for double-deck robots.

The brackets are precision drilled and cut, and are available in a variety of colors. Be sure to pick the color you want. Made with durable but lightweight expanded rigid PVC plastic. Dimensions: 3 3/8" wide by 1 1/4" tall.


Now you can sturdily mount
your servos anywhere!

For each bracket we include two 90-degree angle gussets that secure the bracket to your robot base. These angle gussets are made of nearly unbreakable black high density polyethylene. All very light, but extremely strong! Mounting hardware is included, so you can use these brackets right out of the packaging.


Example mounting on a robot base.

You get a pair of servo brackets, four angle gussets, and a set of 4-40 hardware. Buy several pairs for all your robots!

For a ready-to-go-solution, the hole spacings of the brackets match our 7" base with wheel cutouts, so you don't have to drill a thing. Is this cool or what?!
