The mounting position should not interfere with the arm or minimum ground clearance
Protects battery from being hit or impacted by elements such as rocks or other debris under the rover
must be (dimensions) must be 26.9 x 17 x 17 cm to fit the battery and bag
...
Minimizes moments on the differential bar; ensures that the chassis is balanced
This affects the CG height and the CG proximity to the differential bar. THis will also be dependant on the device mounted to the front of the rover
allowing for ease of wiring from the ebox to other parts of the rover such as the arm?
This will require collaboration with the Ebox placement.

Mitigate Rist
Spacing can be checked within the cad model and additional alterations can be made to ensure ebox and battery both fit
The COM can be determined using cad
Trade-Offs
CG (height)
CG (Proximity to the differential bar)
Ebox accessibility, and since the battery is close to the pivot point at the differential it should limit the moment applied on the chassis· wiring ability, and ability to access ports
Interference with coms if places near them
Timeline
the part should be manufactured by the end of the term
the design will be reviewed and work can start on the can model by the end of the week (November 11)
