Turtlebot - reuse Turtlebot 1's plates and standoffs for use with Kobuki?

edit

The upper plates are compatible (same holes plus a few), but its the bottom plate which will cause you problems.

The kobuki and create base are significantly different and because of the hardware, you can only place mounting holes at points which fit with the design and also take advantage of the strongest possible points (otherwise your whole stack becomes unstable).

So, long story short - the kobuki stacks are backwards compatible - we even put in holes so you can reverse the base kobuki plate and use it on a create, but of course, create stacks could not predit forwards compatibility.

Bill at IHR may be the best person to talk to about filling your need, or alternatively get someone to cut your own bottom plate according to the mechanical drawings which are open - you can put your create plates on top of them.
