K2Aley GAR-BOT Realistic Parts Breakdown

Real photo exploded layout plus measured STL dimensions for the frame, top-shoulder claws, sealed electronics, touchscreen, motors, heat inserts, 9 LED ground-effect modules, and remote control.

Realistic photo + measured STL view

The first board uses real GAR-BOT component photos as the visual reference. The measured drawing below still calls out dimensions from the final STL files.

These are the actual reference photos from the GAR-BOT build folder. The center robot view shows where each real subsystem fits, while the measured STL drawing below keeps the print dimensions honest.

REAL PHOTOS + STL MEASUREMENTS
GAR-BOT center assembly reference
Real two-claw assembly reference 1Two claws mount on top of the shoulders
Real claw servo controller board 2Side-mounted light servo / claw controller boards
Real 24V drive motor 3Four direct-drive 24V motors, no chain drive
Real Raspberry Pi 5 relay HAT stack 4RP5 relay HAT sealed in electronics bay
Real IBT-2 motor driver modules 5IBT-2 motor drivers protected by covers
Real RP Zero 2 W Pico Voice remote transmitter boards 6RP Zero 2 W Pico Voice remote transmitter
Real RGB LED star modules for ground effect lighting 79 RGB LED modules for sealed ground effect lighting
Real 24V to 5V buck converter 824V to 5V buck converter power module
1
Top-shoulder clawsBoth claw assemblies sit above the front shoulder bridge, not down on the lower frame.
2
Side servo boardsLight servo/claw boards mount on the side service area and need a splash cover before wet use.
3
Direct-drive motorsNo chain drive: each motor mounts at a wheel corner with motor splash shields and drip-loop wire exits.
4
Sealed RP5 bayRP5, relay HAT, LoRa USB, and power wiring stay under the gasketed lid with cable glands.
5
Motor driver zoneIBT-2 modules are not exposed; use the printed covers and keep wire routes clear of moving parts.
6
TransmitterRP Zero 2 W plus Pico Voice replaces the Pro Mini remote design.
7
9 LED ground effectsUse the RGB star modules under the body as sealed ground lighting, routed through glands or covered channels.
8
5V regulatorThe buck converter feeds the 5V electronics rail; the Pi 5 still needs a supply with enough current.

Part accuracy is defined from the exported STL files.

The current accuracy definition uses measured STL bounding boxes in millimeters, not visual guesses from the illustration. The 2026-06-14 mesh audit reports 38/38 PASS with one connected shell per file, zero open edges, and zero nonmanifold edges.
