The prompt
Create an editable 3D CAD concept for the Foam-Board Baseplate of DeskMate, an educational desk robot that picks up small objects from a desk and passes them to the user. Design requirements: 1. Create a flat, lightweight baseplate with an editable outer shape and dimensions. 2. Include a central mounting area for the robotic arm. 3. Include editable mounting holes whose positions and diameters can be changed later. 4. Reserve space for a battery, controller and wires. 5. Include mounting locations for non-slip feet underneath the baseplate. 6. Consider weight distribution, arm reach, stability and the risk of tipping when the arm picks up an object. 7. Keep the design simple and suitable for an educational prototype made primarily from foam board. 8. Make the important dimensions editable and clearly label them in millimetres. 9. Do not invent final hole positions, payload limits or safety ratings. Mark unknown dimensions as parameters that must be confirmed from the actual robot components. 10. Generate a 3D model and explain how to obtain a dimensioned 2D drawing for a full-scale cutting template. This is a preliminary concept only. Do not claim that the design is structurally safe until its actual dimensions, loads and stability have been checked.
