I don't believe so. :) I tried to mount the thing on a baseplate after I
posted that - (built the other half of the robot until 0h20 last night), and
I'm going to need two 48dot baseplates, with the playing feild mounted on a
separate 32dot baseplate butted against the two 48dot plates and in the
middle. Like this:
+---+---+
| 48|48 | <- Robot Mount Plates
+---+---+
|32|
+--+ <--- Playing Feild Plate
I think this might be the sturdiest thing I've ever built! :)
