Quick Motor Mount Question

[daveimi]

Do I need the wheel chair frame or can I use the six bolts to mount the motor to my base plate? Am really really hoping I won't have to incorporate the wheel chair frame into the robot lol. Erm but these six bolts seem really small to say that they will take the robots weight. Just to be clear, I was planning on putting the motors under a mounting plate and then using the six screws to locate them. You can see on this picture the six bolts I'm talking about, (five are missing for some reason lol).

I don't see any objection to do it that way, but make sure you use bolts "a baseplate" longer .
Cast aluminium doesn't like short bolts

Ok no worries, thanks Mario
