Other key parts include the Pololu_Breakout_A4988. By type, the board carries 5 modules, 3 battery holders, 2 connectors and 1 switch.

It belongs with the robotics & motion designs in this gallery.

From the project

This thing is really big so you need like a lot of plates if you want to build it. Roughly about 6 plates and 40 hours of non stop printing.

It uses a crap ton of M3 screws and heatsets, so make sure you stock up on those

The bottom piece is there for stability and to make sure the wheel mount doesnt collapse.\ The suspensions are a bunch of high strendth springs that help distribute the weight of the whole car evenly through the wheels and absorb large bumps.\ \
