Designing your own payload

 

Example CAD file that has all the correct spacing and alignment

The Open Rover has eight M5 mounting holes on its top for payload attachments. Its recommended that all payloads use at least 4 of these, one in each corner. Payloads can be designed to either be full-size, spanning the whole length of the top section and using the four outer most mounting locations, or half size in which case two payloads can be attached at the same time.
