work consists of two 3.0" x 2.4" acrylic plates that
sandwich the two gearmotors. Cross-shaped cutouts on
both plates accommodate plastic tabs on the
gearmotors to lock them into place securely. The
bottom plate has a large hole for press-fitting a plastic
ball caster, and the top plate has a rectangular hole for
holding a battery pack. Various small holes for holding
the plates together and attaching a printed circuit board
are included.

The drawings for the two plates are shown below, followed by a cost breakdown.

6.b. Laser Cutting Example: Architectural Ornament Created from a Photograph

Our custom laser-cutting service is not just for robot enthusiasts; it can be for anybody with a creative project
requiring custom parts! This custom ornament was laser cut from red oak and was designed to be used as an applique
for a door. The customer provided us a photograph of a similar pattern, which we referenced to draw this design on the
computer to create a file suitable for laser cutting. The decoration was cut from 1/4" red oak and is 5.5" in diameter.
