RoboThespian can also be installed directly onto a stage. For this application a low-profile version of the base is available. A hole in the base, allows cables to be neatly routed down into the stage. The robots DC power supply unit can also be located directly below him, we recommend a hole in the stage 150mm in diameter under the base.

Hole layout for feet - if mounting directly on own base / stage

Should you want to mount RoboThespian directly on your own stage or base, please use the following hold template:
