Overview

This 1/8" acrylic expansion plate lets you mount a variety of components to your RP5 tracked chassis. The 3 mm wide slots covering the plate support many configurations of sensors and other robot components. The slot size and spacing is compatible with the many Tamiya mechanical sets that have 3 mm holes spaced 5 mm apart. Included with the plate are four tapping screws for mounting the plate to the RP5 tracked chassis.

The plate is also compatible with the Dagu Rover 5 tracked chassis, although we have noticed a misalignment between the mounting holes on the expansion plate and the Rover 5, so you might only be able to secure the plate with two screws on opposing corners.

The Pololu RP5 expansion plate comes in both narrow and wide versions. The narrow plate (RRC07A) is 6.8" x 3.1" (17.2 x 8.0 cm) and covers the main plastic housing of the RP5 chassis. The wide plate (RRC07B) is 6.8" x 5.0" (17.2 x 12.7 cm) and covers both the main plastic housing and the tracks.

Both the narrow and wide expansion plates are available in a variety of colored (and clear) acrylics:
