🤖 The Ultimate Customizable FTC Number Plate
Stop searching for the "right" number plate STL. This generator creates clean, professional, and competition-legal number plates tailored to your team’s specific needs.
🌟 Features
- Clean Aesthetic: Rounded corners and bold, readable numbering for a professional "pro-team" look.
- Snap-Lock Integration: The plate features a precision side-groove that slides into the frame and locks securely into place. No tools, no zip-ties—just a satisfying click.
- FTC Legal Dimensions: Preconfigured to meet the 6.5" x 2.5" requirement to ensure your robot passes inspection without a hitch.
- High Visibility: Designed for easy 3-color printing. Use a filament swap (Multi Toolhead or AMS) to make your numbers pop against the background.
- Triple Layer Sandwich: Built with a solid white core that separates the alliance colors. This ensures your red plates look truly red and your blue plates look truly blue.
- Interchangeable Mounting Frames: No more drilling or zip-tie hacks. (More to come!)
