In this user story, a platform for a Carrera slot car is to be modelled in order to support automation engineers in the development and optimization of their systems. The platform is mounted on the slot car frame and serves as the basis for attaching three permanently mountable components: a transponder, a microcontroller (ESP32 with gyro), and a battery. The aim is to develop a functional design that meets the requirements of the automation team.

The platform has been successfully modeled and tested. The requirements from the specifications were changed and all changes were considered. A detailed STL file of the slot car base was provided by the automation engineer, which enabled precise customization of our platform. The platform includes holders for the circuit board, the transponder and the battery. The housing for the platform has also been modeled and the integration of interfaces has been completed. Both the platform and the housing have also been printed.

There are interfaces for the slot car and the housing on the platform. The following graphic provides information about specific parts of the platform. We have decided against integrating threads into the models, instead we have modeled holes into which heat inserts can be inserted. This is for the sake of durability.
