Task Description
Design and 3D print a mount to fix 2 FPV cameras. One will be forwards facing, one will be downwards. Refer to the current design:

Task Progression/Updates

Initial Design
Can be found in COMP2024 → Electronics Mounts → Camera
M3 holes connect to the corners of a 30 x 30 grid
Top camera will be facing forward, bottom camera will be facing down
The bottom extrusion are intentionally designed to be longer as the camera faces downward and there needs to be clearance for the cable to be connected

Revision 1
Can be found in COMP2024 → Electronics Mounts → Camera
Change was made to work around the battery shroud that would otherwise block the front facing camera that was placed on top
The main concept is still the same (using the diagonal 30 x 30 M3 holes) with the only change being extended legs on the bottom and 2 additional M2 holes for the front facing camera
An additional 10mm was left between the two cameras so that the bottom facing one has enough clearance for the cable

Revision 2 - Strengthening
Can be found in COMP2024 → Electronics Mounts → Camera
Doubled wall thickness from 2mm to 4mm
Added gussets to corners
Added a beam between top and bottom facing cameras (not sure how effective this is at strengthening)
Overall, much chunkier now which should be a lot stronger, open to any ideas or changes as this was quickly done
