In terms of the final design, we added a motor mount plate and a roller plate to the main body. The motor plate is used to fix the motor onto the center gear in the vertical position as shown in Figure 5 below. As for the roller plate, we incorporated it into our design in order to allow the robot climber to be able to traverse a surface more easily.
