Charging Base Elevation Plate V1

🔧 Riser Plate – YardForce 500 / 500B Charging Base

This riser plate was designed exclusively to compensate for the robot's height after the installation of new rear wheels (modified/raised wheels)

When these wheels are mounted, the robot sits higher at the rear, which can prevent correct alignment with the charging base
This plate simply allows the base to be raised to restore proper alignment of the robot during docking

👉 It is only for this purpose
👉 No structural reinforcement
👉 No terrain correction
👉 No other use than alignment related to the wheels

📌 Available Versions

Two versions of the model are now available:

• Version V1 – single-piece plate
• Version V2 – two-part plate

The two-part version allows the plate to be printed on smaller build plates or facilitates printing on certain printers
 

📌 Fixation – Version V1 and V2

⚠️ This first version (V1) is designed to be glued onto the charging base
No mechanical fastening is provided on this model

Future versions will integrate suitable fastening solutions
