I spent this session restructuring the sensor payload layout and resolving a few assembly conflicts.

The original LiDAR and camera mount was inspired by my drone design, but I realized the constraints are completely different for this rover. I initially attempted an in-canopy placement but decided against it, choosing instead to design a completely new forward-facing enclosure that mounts both the LiDAR and camera right at the front of the vehicle.

While finalizing the chassis, I caught a few Fusion 360 assembly constraints that weren’t aligning correctly and repaired the model hierarchy. With the assembly fixed, I added the proper hardware mounting points and bolting interfaces to the rear wing so it securely fastens to the base plate. Finally, I routed dedicated wire-management channels through the main chassis floor, ensuring all power and data lines can cleanly pass in and out of the electronics bay without getting pinched.
